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?

I picked up the car today. Since I have some other mods to take care of, I'm leaving stocks on for now. And the ride height is well high since when I'm tucked the front bumper 3.5 inches off the ground. Also I can't get in many places with the car low. But it will sitting in a garage until the other mods are done.
Can you find the newest mod aside from the kit?
The color on the car is a silver base with gold pearl. 5 coats of paint.
My JP's are sitting in the house. My front tires are worn down.

EV ftw!!!
The quality of the paint job looks just FANTASTIC!!! The kit looks absolutely amazing too!
I can see a couple of new mods - the LED tails (with the two round circles), the Euro style side blinkers on the front fenders and perhaps the round fogs in the kit?
You need to upgrade those fogs to an HID system to match the headlights.

Hameed, Sieze thanks for the compliments.
Hammed your right about the HID's in the fogs. After seeing Henry and Will's cars, I know I'll have to upgraded to 6000K for the headlights and fogs.
some things that can't be seen are instead of using clips I actually put bolts where clips were holding the inner fender liners. I replaced both yesterday as well.
I also started to fatmat (dynamat alternative) my rear seats and trunk. Last night my hands looked like a smurf after pressing the material for hours.

Looks great Chris, my partner @ our bodyshop wanted to do the black bars kinda like yours but just the bars...man, I shouldve done that. I'm glad I didn't buy Scaras too lol! Nice JP grille. Gotta locate a set of inner led's to match the tails now. two thumbs up man!

Looking good Chris. The fit on the JP grill looks awsome! Get those HID fogs soon. Let me know when you want to rewire your fog relay.

Btw, on the bolts you replaced the plastic clips for the inner fender liners. What if you bottom out and the tire rubbs against those bolts. Just a thought.

Yea I have to buy a wooden one. I had a plastic one, but it is garbage. I almost broke it pressing too hard.
I'll post up the pics in the forums. And I'll be eventually selling the JP's. I need a more aggressive offset once I finished the shaving and rolling, plus the front fenders are wider as is.
