Man congrats on all the new parts. Can't wait to see pics.
Thanks! In this case, it would be Lowe's, let's build something together.

Has anyone else noticed that at Lowe's, if the workers think you might be about to ask for help, they take off in the other direction? Or is it just me?

Vents cf for sure, not sure on fade or a distinct "line". I told Ed at the body shop I would mount the parts and then bring it over, he said "Good idea, then you can show me where you couldn't get the panels aligned, it will save me a few minutes, ha ha". So maybe I'll have Ed do the mounting so he can't laugh at me.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I also am going to get my rear fenders rolled while the car is down, for future tire expansion.

The only issue I have now is what to do with the rear bumper area, I don't want to spend a ton of money, the TS diffuser is not cheap, as we all know, and I got a quote on the Damd rear diffuser, not much cheaper, $903.00 shipped, 8 -14 weeks wait. I may have to have one fabricated.

Sorry for the confusion - honestly, I don't think the 10 mm really means anything - 10 millimeter = 0.393 700 787 inch - but every little bit helps when you are trying to cram big tires in there.

I'll try to remember to weigh both for comparision purposes. I do know that any weight savings will be consumed by the Stillen rubber pieces. Man that polyurethane is heavy.
