Wow, very nice. Any modifications necessary to add on the rear diffuser to the stock bumper? Or does one have to replace the entire bumper?

Concussions can be a real tough thing to recover from.

That 3.8 will SCREAM.

its a nightmare to say the least. 5 years after, I still have many bad symptoms from morning to night. lets hope the 3800S numbs the pain when cruising :P

Yes I went with the carbon look option. I had the "splitter" portion of the rear diffuser masked off during painting to keep the carbon look.

Looks great! Same plan for me and just clear coat the carbon part. I think you did the same there?

Its a very nice wheel. If I somehow get a good deal on them then okay but im not paying 5k USD on wheels. But these are BRAND BRAND NEW! never mounted, which is key. We will see.
