Default Artisan knock off ebay bumper extension

All in 350$ after getting wrapped. Looking back I probably should have just gone with actual Artisans! But still turned out good.

Looks really cool. Got a 2015 RCF my self. I'm interested in your experience with the RR supercharger. Any issues there? Does it interfere too much with casual driving? How is servicing the car with it on going? Does the dealer know what to do ? Sorry if my questions are a bit novice.

My experience with the Super charger is good and bad. Pros- Power = awesome. No problems casual driving, and easy to service. RR was available for many questions during install. Haven't been going to dealer, I use a local Friends shop.
Cons - Cost is astronomical, RR has spotty communication and a holier than thou attitude. If anything goes wrong they will not take any responsibility. I had some parts missing in kit and some hoses that were too short(They didn't agree, blamed installer) Blow off valve came broken, Water meth had broken fitting(they said to contact manufacturers). I also had a rib come off Supercharger belt, after 3 mos and they said it was my fault. Sent them many pics of clearances etc and they eventually stopped responding and didn't even respond asking to just buy a belt. Customer service post install obviously lacking. Maybe better luck if they install system as they can't blame installer?

All said and done, Ive been 50/50 on whole experience. Only way to make that power is to buy from them. At least we are starting to get a few other groups doing tunes etc.

Thanks for telling us about it. Very much appreciated!! If I finally decide to do the supercharge, I'm going to give it to a pro-shop to do the RR install.. What I was worried a bit about mostly is servicing and daily problems. So your answer is reassuring. Thanks again.
