Guys - you are going to have to wait for pictures. I just got all the parts on and now I am going to have to take them off so they can be painted. I wanted to make sure they fit before I had them painted, since most body kits take a little cutting and drilling.
The Top Secret stuff fit much better than the Ings+1. I only had to cut the TS front bumper for my Oil cooler. The Ings+1 side skirts needs some help fitting properly on the car. And there was nothing aftermarket in the side skirts way.

I am a poor bastard so I went with the FRP Fiber Images front. It is on a truck in Cali on its way here as I type this. If you looking to get either the CF or the FRP call Ryan at Tuners Corner 602 770 2414. Save yourselves the headache of dealing with the company yourselves and let him do all the work.

He got it for me F A S T too! It was ordered and shipped in less than 2 weeks. And that included the manufacturing!

I like how it doesn't elongate the bumper like other radical kits.

OK everyone - I took the time today after I test drove her with the new Areo parts to take a few pictures. After this I take everything back off (except the rear wing) to go get it painted.

Yes - the wing is a little outrageous, but I wanted a functional wing that would not block the rear view mirror and would balance out the front downforce of the bumper+canards since I track my car all the time.

Yea - I thought they where backwards too, yet, that is how Top Secret shows to install them.

Looks great! Not sure I like the stripes too much, but they make it look like it belongs on the track!

The only reason the stripes are there is to protect the paint from track damage. Plus, they really make the car stand out and photograph better on track.
