car in the paint shop!!

took her in last night to get the GT-3 front bumper & air intakes painted & installed!!!

pretty good price $500 for the bumper & $175 for the intakes.

Speaking of the intakes, I picked these up pretty cheap, what do you guys think?
I thought they look pretty cool, plus the way the intakes are stock was one thing I never really liked on the Box. These sort of add a turbo look to the box, plus maybe a small ram air effect. Thats is what the maker claims, but I have doubts.

Someone else on the list wanted these and I couldn't find them online to go back and tell them. Where did you buy them?

I like them and might add them to my car one day.

I always think of those as a carbon f. catcher's mitt to scoop up all the acorns and pebbles that usually bounce of the car.
Congrats on the bumper, makes a big difference.

they are made by kokeln here is the link http://www.kokeln.com/

They are the only maker, but they are pretty expensive direct, I got mine off ebay. They are usually on ebay. BTW I got the fiberglass ones, not the CF ones because I wanted to paint them body color. I love carbon fiber, but I do not like the look of CF mixed with with the body color on the exterior. The fiberglass ones are much cheaper too.

I can't wait to see how they look on the car painted. As soon as I get it back I will post pics.
