Hey everyone,

Last week I stopped by the shop and they were putting on the rest of the kit. I only had time to take a quick shot since they were working on the car so...

Here is part of the rear bumper.




The car should be done sometimes this week hopefully. Sorry with the slow updates, I've been crazy busy. And the chrome bumper trim will be installed once I pick it up from the dealer.

If you see how light hits the body, what color shows up?

looks awesome! I like how the body shop kept that bottom strip on the rear bumper black. i hate it when body shops dont pay attention and paint things like that all the same color (but i guess some people want it all the same color). can't wait to see the rest of it!

chris, your kit didn't come with chrome trim? I can't wait to see it. I was going to paint the rear like yours too...Looks good like that. The match looks good from the trunk to the bumper. Did they blend or did you get a complete, or just a butt match? Post more pics man!

Hey Thomas,

yea sorry I didn't take any more pics. I was in a rush that day and they were working on the car too. Nope I had to get the trim from the dealer. Also I actually did a complete re-paint on the entire car. Fixing little dents and stuff here and there. I'm going to try to stop by the shop this week to give them the trim.

Now that my kit is basically done, I'll eventually have to go with a totally different set up for rims. My offsets are way off now...

what suspension setup are you going to run? With those Aristo Fenders, you should be able to run some pretty low offsets!!
