Smile New Mods woo hoo

Just got it back from the shop

Added a precision porsche turbo look bumper (urethane one) and t/a style side skirts. Also pulled off the trunk badging. Only things left are to de-amber the headlights and find the rims I want (looking for black).

The front bumper pic isn't that great since I have really bad angle on it (looking down and too close but you get the idea).

What would you base that on?

blkboxster is probably basing the fitment off the first pic. It does look really off there but that is really a product of the angle of the pic. The gap is actually really good but the bumper flares quickly (by design) so it looks like there is a gap from that angle. I'll try and take a better pic later.

Overally quality is probably a 7/10. It didn't have the film that most urethane bumpers do covering it, but it did require a lot of prep time as there were too many air bubbles in the grill area etc that required prep time. Overall quality is better than any fiberglass I have seen as far as gap fitment but still not perfect.

Side skirts are from precision porsche as well, side note they didn't require nearly as much prep time to paint as I expected.

I think it looks pretty nice. I like the way the front bumper and the side skirts flow together.

Just a note I've visitied Percision Porsche and EVERYTHING they make is FIBERGLASS. They don't make urethane parts. Your bumper is Fiberglass.
