Interesting that it comes with the mesh preinstalled.... I might actually remove it on mine, depending on what I think of it in person.

How does the flipper attach? How is the quality? Pin holes in the gel coat?

yea man, i didn't know the mesh was silver....i might have that spray painted black and i didn't get mines through a vendor which is why i got it so quickly but i did have to go to miami international airport to pick it up. they wouldn't ship it any further. the quality on the peice is outstanding and it looks like i'll have little to no fitment issues but i'll let you know on tuesday. i have no idea how the flipper attaches and what pin holes are you referring to?

pin holes are just that... small holes that look like the could be from a pin poke. They are found in the gel coat and usually common on lesser quality parts, but any FRP piece can have them. I think they are actually the result of air bubbles when they apply the gel coat. they will need to be filled and beyond fitment issues, can be the cause of a lot of prep work prior to paint. If not filled, they will be come very noticable once the piece is painted

There very well isn't any, just curious if you saw any. My wald kit didn't have any, but I have seen numerous FRP parts that did, and like I said, they can add a lot of prep work for paint.

Just trying to get a feel for what to expect

That looks like an expensive piece of palstic.

Do you road race, and need additional brake cooling?

-front fascia-2500
-back-2500
-side "peices"-1378
--$6378.oo

+ship. +paint +instl. = ridiculous!


Zquicksilver
ps all of the sudden a genuine NISMO V2 front fascia seems reasonable

-$6378.oo = crazy!

Default Why Teaser pic....waste of time!

Why show parts sitting in your house when you can post pic painted/installed
that would have much more impact, only then would we all be envious? It's
like all the members that take pic of their new wheels still in the boxes. I'm
the guy taking the boxes from the UPS driver throwing them in my car and
heading to the tire shop for install....no time for pic! Pictures "After" the
install, that's what looks great....
