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.

Damn that's so sick. Amazing job. Satin Headlights would look awsome. Maybe black handles to acompany everything else?

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.

I got 3 didffenret body shops quotes to do mine for $50-$75 and I just picked a shop and it came out very nice. What quotes were you getting?

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.
