Default Body Mods Done!

I'll post pics this evening after work when I get home, but this is what I had done Mon/Tues/Wed:

*Nismo front bumper painted with air ducts painted flat black
*Unlimited Tuning GTR Grille painted (painted extra coat of black on mesh)
*SpoilerDepot rear lip spoiler installed
*Repainted rear bumper and trunk lid due to garage door incident - painted diffuser area flat black to match front inserts

I love the way the car looks now and I'm very satisfied with the fit/finish of all the products... I had to take my car back to the shop this morning, however, to repaint the grille as I noticed some paint runs in one corner - they are also going to try to adjust it to fill in the small gap between the hood and the grille (not bad at all though, just not perfect)

Look for pics this evening! Can't wait to get your feedback!

Excellent classy-body mods in my opinion, good choices.

I think a lot of the Coupe stuff is way too aggresive (ken style hehe)...

Painting the rear diffuser black on the coupe also looks great (like the nismo, or nismo sedan diffuser).

Enjoy your SF-winnings when you get them, still enjoying mine.


Lets see... pics!

Pics! These were taken yesterday - since then, the body shop re-adjusted the grille after re-painting it and it sits much better, imo...

Can't wait to finish it off with my wheels!

That looks great. That flat black on the rear bumper really adds a nice touch to the car and the exhaust.

I think the seam on the top of the front grill is much worse.

Yeah - like I said before, the grille has been adjusted somewhat, and looks much better now (the center support was bent somewhat - all it needed was to be straightened out)

As for the rear lip spoiler - the fitment is perfect (but I see what you're saying after looking at the close-up pic) - trust me, it looks perfect in person...

The only thing I'm not 100% satisfied with is the GTR grille (but then again, I did pay $0.00 for it - traded my stock cats for one) - If I get tired of it, I can very easily swap it out for the stocker... I'll try to post some new pics of what it looks like now...
