driving out of the body shop, i cracked the backside of the diffuser. you cant see it, but i know its there. there was about a 4 inch curb and i went almost completely sideways at .5 mph... but couldnt avoid it. but i used to scrape on my stock bumper so im used to it.

lol, man it sucks. but hey, its just a diffuser. my front end is way too low because my turbo kit weighs the front down. need coilovers to raise the front and slam the rears.

you know, i really want to do the handles... but for how much it costs to do it right (imo having a shop do them), i couldnt justify the price. i will later down the road im sure because i think that will make a huge difference.

headlights will be done within the next month i'd say, whenever i have a free weekend.

Looks great. Just ordered my bumper yesterday from Shine. I've always heard good things about the fitment, and that's why I chose Shine. Only thing I don't care for about the kit is the rear. Your car looks great!

how much what was? the kit or the paint?

kit was 1370 shipped
prep/paint/install was 840. theres a guy here in tampa that has no overhead, so he can afford to do GREAT work for a lot less than everyone else.
bluekustoms.com for anyone in central florida.
