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.:cheers:

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

I will see how it handles with sticky 285s first and go from there

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.

As for the wheels i’m just keeping and eye out for them.

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.
