Default Finally!

Well finally my GFX kit is here. I ordered a couple of hours after the sale began so I already knew there would be some kind of delay plus living in CA doesn't help either. Looks like I will be doing something this weekend after all.

^^^I'm sure they will help you out but it could be a problem if there isn't any more stock left.

I paid $150 for them to paint the entire kit cause they ran out of Starfire Pearls. It turned out great, and matches perfectly.

You probably can get a good mileaged 2003 911 for 45k. Get it certified pre-owned as they can have a good amount of problems. The kiddos can fit in the back as long as they are under 4 ft.
haha...just what I need. a car with just enough space for the kids and room for the strollers! Ladies here I come

Paul and I are hitting up the dealer on Monday to get our next meet in the works maybe I will leave there with my new car

IMO, the side was the easiest to install. You can do both side in under a hour. The front was harder, because of the stupid gap at the corner. After two days, I still couldn't get the gap to be flush.

yeah we did 2 cars last Tuesday and it only took like 30mins. You get the hang of it after the first side. Just remember to tape up the edge of your back door or risk chipping it.

no drilling, simply just removed and reinstalled! I did use some of my friend's wax strip to wipe the sides where the 3M tape was going to be taped to.

Left side has a very minimal gap, i put light behind it to gauge how much gap i have. However the right side, the gap is not really noticeable at all.
