My new look
Here are a few pictures that I've taken of my new Shine V2 bumper, powdercoated RPF1s, and my g-Force KDW TA2s! Car will be out of paint tonight so I'll take pictures with finished bumper but I'm still waiting on Enkei to send my valvestems and centercaps they forgot. Enjoy!

That should look pretty BA when it's done. I'd reccomend painting the eye lids while your car is at the shop. It stands out too much being the only CF piece on the car.

The Enkei's I had powdercoated black for $350 here in town and then I used 3M 1/4" Pinstripe tape to do the time attack stripe. I can't wait to put these on the car!!

You can't tell shitty iphone pics but the entire CWest kit is carbon fiber and the front bumper is partial twill weave as well.

I'm gunna keep the Cwest sideskirts I like the look of them with the V2; however, I haven't gotten a good idea of the car in the daylight as I had about 20 minutes of it when I picked it up, AND it rained on the way home!!! It's soo dirty. Soo mad..... I plan on putting the V2 wing on next and doing a carbon fiber hood and roof next, but I'm more focused on power mods now. I REALLY need an exhaust so that's next (hoping someone will trade me the old wheels for one)

hmm im sorry but 3M pinstripe tape is the lose.... having said that, im glad you chose the tape and not red paint... cause you can always remove the tape in the future and have nice all black rpf1s. everything else looks nice and they did a good job on the powdercoat...

They ****ED up the powdercoating!!!!! Had the tires mounted And the coating just flaked off in huge chunks around the center cap and lugs. I could kill someone.... They lied and Didnt media blast off the other coating first so they are fizing it now. That will delay my install pics sorry.... So bummed.
