Yeah, I really like the look of the grill. The shadow of the intercooler is still there, and it gives it an aggressive, yet stealthy look. I agree the bumper is on the aggressive side, but I think it matches the intercooler..I mean common....the fat intercooler is already agressive!!!
Yes, the car is going on a climate controlled fully enclosed carrier with a full liftgate...so they dont have to drive it up on ramps...not that it would ever get up a ramp anyways.
They strap the car down from the tires, almost like using nylon nets, so the suspension and body are untouched. He promised me it will arrive in bettter condition that when it left..LOL...for $2200...it better! Luckily my company is picking up the tab!

Some pics of the body parts prep and repair. All the greenish colored stuff is filler and repair materials.
They did a lot of work to get the kit perfected.....

I love the kit. Hey, on my rear bumper, the very bottom part that tucks under the car tends to vibrate a bit since there is no mount or support to hold it. Did you do anything to fix it? I am thinking of a bit of safetywire discretely placed from somwhere underneath the bumper, and then attached to the frame or something...just curious if you did anything with it.

Sharif,
I got to say your car looks great. I saw it in person and the pics don't do it any justice especially since the color is black. Now you have the looks and lots of power to back it up. GL in NC and keep us posted on your dynos.
