Looks good, almost perfect even, don't ruin it with a veilside rear.

Fair comment 9krpmrx8. My body shop guys thinks it would be overkill also...

I agree. Looks great right now! Maybe Kenstyle rear (like ngorx8)? Good job and nice wheels!

TPMS = No Go with Racing Harts. Shine = Shine Auto Project.

Check the group buy section, he did an Autobahn repro run which is how I got this kit.

NICE! I love your car man, the springs are perfect height for a kit. You don't want to go too low. I'd choose another spoiler though, stock doesn't match the profile IMO.

Pretty good match on the color. The car is pretty new and is never in the sun so I don't think the color has aged much... The shop is KelRx8's recommendation, props to him...

B-E-A-UTIFUL! Any plans on getting the rest of the kit!? I'm thinking you need some sideskirts and a rear.

Nice ride, I can't wait to get my front. It oooks pretty nice with the OEM spoiler. I'll have a similar setup but with the MS sides.

If you don't mind me asking how much did you end up paying to get it painted and installed?

Excellent work on the car. Very tastefully done. I think you made a great choice for the wheels. The RH's go well with the AutoBahn lines.

Looks like a nice set of 4" exhaust tips would finish the rear off. You might as well go the whole 9 yards.
