also I think the Autobahn/EVO-R fender insterts would work nicer,,,
The outlets fang rearward such as the outlets in your sideskirts, as opposed to your out facing current fender inserts...
just some observations...

no I decided to not do that...I took all the cf exterior parts I had and sold them...painted my cf eyelids SS too, just need to install them...I think it will look cleaner without the cf

as for not sending the shrouds.....I have been busy trying to get my car running....had to take the turbo out and had it upgraded and rebuilt...wrapped it up last friday

I will send them for sure tomorrow...probably ups.

How much were they? I like the Autobahn style better, if they were paint-matched(not cf) and black mesh, but they're probably pricey aren't they?

btw, did you pick out a spoiler yet?

They were like $120. Not sure on the autobahn ones.
I want the racing beat spoiler, but I have put that on hold for a bit. Money is tight, work is slow.
