Its not an aero bumper. The front bumper is RUF and I have RUF side skirts which are not installed yet and then I have a Rieger rear bumper skirt thats in transit from Germany. I didnt like RUF's rear bumper option. Eventually 18 inch RUF wheels and RUF side mirrors.

First off, subscribed! Glad your health is getting better, and no doubt that the 3.8 installed will make you feel even better Can't wait to see your updates.

Excellent choice on the Rieger rear diffuser. The fitment is spot on, quality job man, fingers crossed you'll get the same experience.

Thanks for the positive energy!

I’m sure when the car is up and running like a top again then it will make me smile

Do you have the Rieger diffuser on yours? If so can you post a pic of it?

Thanks.

Another Canuck...excellent! Glad to hear you're back up to snuff.

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?
