Default Got my car back, what do you think?

So I finally got my car back after being in the body shop for 2 weeks getting my kit installed, here's some pics, let me know your opinions I also just redid my whole audio system. Sounds amazing!

needs a new rear skirt or defuser or something to complete the stance.

Also, it's hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like your fenders are not flush with the number. I can definitely see separation between the bumper and fender in this pic: http://img191.imageshack.us/i/017hut.jpg/

Looks good so far, looks like a good paint match.

I would recommend a rear bumper, drop, and wheels or spacers.

If u can't find an entire rear bumper, you can also go with a rear skirt. I didn't like the rear my kit came with so I bought a rear skirt from STILLEN. Looks alot better IMHO...

Agree 100% here

At this point the car looks 50% done..your just missing a few pieces of the puzzle.

Ok, I'll be the one that asks about the stereo.

Do you have an alarm? Having amps sitting out like that would worry me a little... even with an alarm. An alarm won't stop a brick.

The one side is flush and the other side is almost but not perfect, it's the best they could do in order for the lights and the hooline and everything else to line up perfect. It's a replica kit, I'm suprised how well they got it to fit.

Yeah it is, I just heard some horror stories about the INGS replica rear bumper and didn't want to dish out the money, I really like the stock rear bumper also that's why I left it plain. Plus I would rather have a urethane rear then a fiberglass because it's more likely someone is gonna rear end me then me rear end someone else.

Yeah, money is tight for the moment, I will be looking at some wheels soon!

I have had my amps up there for 2 years, I have a new viper alarm, car is never left anywhere, I am always in pager distance, and I do live in a really good neighborhood, Never had a problem + my house as security cameras Also the amps are attached to the amp rack... the only way to get it out of the car is to dissemble the rack or unscrew all the screws, by that time I would be pounding the guy lol.

I disagree on the paint match being good. It is an adequate match but it's too blue.

+1, I know white is hard to match, but they look quite different. Maybe it's just the camera

I thought the exact same thing. Even though I am not a fan of the front bumper, it doesn't look bad at all. The side skirt fitment is really nice. I agree with everyone else on needing the rear to complete it. Take a look at the Greddy rear lip, its subtle and I think it would flow with your kit. Its what I have on mine as I also like the factory rear, but it accents it real nicely.

The system looks nice. I am about to drop down to 1 10 instead of 2 as sometimes the lows drown out the highs in the kind of music I like.

Nice start

Gotcha... I bet it sounds pretty sweet. That install looks very well done.
