I wanted to go SL2 in full carbon as well, but decided on Nimso V3. Dude, any of those options you have listed will finish it off nicely

Yeah, I don't want to deal with fitment issues or any of that stuff I've heard about the SL2, plus I like center grill rather than open mouthed lol, but that's a while away since I'm almot done paying her off!

And I haven't been watching tv lately, gonna have to YouTube those previews. Anyone know if joejitsu is still around?

There's a noticeable gap where the front if the hood and top of the bumper meets and another member said there's a tab needed to be cut somewhere. Otherwise, figment is spot on. I just don't want to deal with the headache lol I've about had it with replica parts as well. Maybe I'm just OCD lol

The only problem I heard was the oil cooler either has to be moved up a little or cut the bumper...can't be any worse then my E.D bumper...never buy extreme dimensions

Yeah if you're running any cooling, it had to be modified, but another reason why I like V3 is I could use the reflector holes to channel air. And lol I've heard about them, is that where you got your V1?

Yea worst 125$ I ever spent. Lol 125$ for a bumper should have been a red flag.

There used to be "The Paint Shop" off of Palmdale exit, man those guys did excellent work with great pricing to boot, but they closed down sometime in the last year. I went to Sunset Autobody and paint to have my rear bumper resprayed and a Nismo lip painted and they did a pretty great job, but I haven't used that place for other than paint. I usually do my own labor if I know I could do it lol.

Well I need my fenders fixed and plan on going to auto explosion to fix fenders and paint. But if I can find a good/cheap place to paint I'll have them do it.

Let me know how it goes, I've seen some of the work on customers cars at Sunset, and they looked like they do a pretty good job. Sht, if I had the time and money, all my work would be done at Se7en Apple at Shine Auto, lol the painter over there is a legend.
