haha thanks guys! I know what you mean about the bumper, I was undecided for a LONG time on one, I finally took a plunge and went with the v2, I never regretted it I just ordered my 2nd one also cause someone damaged my 1st one, I was thinking about switching it up, but I ended up sticking with another v2

^Where did you order your v2? Do they give you the option of getting it painted..

V2 fitment is good! Needed some stuff done to make it perfect like the first one I had, like my carbon lip/canards.

I hear you on that, hows the fitment? Or do you ask to get it pre-fitted.

I'm looking to order one, just trying to find the right place.

It all needs to be prefitted, make sure your body shop knows what they are doing to make it fit perfect!

nice love the new update...

Please tell me you are painting the cf hood and fenders..

you should do the cf fade for the fenders..i hate when ppl just cut it off where it meets the door line..it looks so outve place and just a blob of cf...

the hood should be the same way too..would flow great with your car


all you need to make the exterior looks 100000000x better are some legit wheels

UPDATE! New pics are up of the hood and fenders being fitted (the hood is not closed in the pics, its sitting on the aero catch hood pin studs) and the fenders are still being aligned, and nothing is really bolted down in the pics yet!

I am going to paint the carbon and leave accents where the vents are at. As for leaving a cut off line, I have to do that or it will look stupid because every other carbon part I have (diffuser on rear bumper, lip and canards on front bumper, B pillars, roof spoiler, veilside underwings, etc) are all clean cut lines, theres no fading or anything into red paint. It wont flow right if theres fading in the vents on the hood and fenders and the rest is clean cut lines.

Ohh haha yea there's an edge along the fender vent that will allow it to be more of a flared line instead of just a straight up and down cut off

Thanks man, I appreciate it

UPDATE! New pics of the car right before paint are on the first page! Also, I'm pretty disappointed in SEIBON...the quality of the carbon hood is pretty upsetting. It looks like it has hail damage or something (little dents in the gelcoat EVERYWHERE) and its BRAND NEW. So I have to get it all prepped and smoothed out before paint. Also, 1 of the fenders has fitment issues and has to be adjusted way more then the other side. Overall, it should come together nicely, I have a good body and paint shop doing the work and I really trust them to make it look good!

yea man I hear you, I should! The only thing is my car has been sitting in pieces for a month while waiting for parts to come from all over the US. I finally have everything and can get it painted, I got the short end of the stick from Seibon tho so its gonna take an expensive transformation into an even bigger one to fix their quality control issues!
