Car under way.

Got a call from Jay this afternoon. He told me there was a slight fitment issue with the front bumper but nothing "to" bad. He said the sides went on great and the rear spoiler should also.

Here are some pics so far!!

The car so far.

The areas with the problem.

The other side.

Got another call from Jay this afternoon. He assured me that everything is going to plan. They have everything lined up and looking good. Tomorrow the kit will be coming off and getting ready for paint! YES!!

Is this the place north of town with all the f cars out front? What did they quote you, out of curiosity? I hear they do great work. Can't wait to see the finished look.

Off of Cobb? If so yep.

I told Jay that I had put a thread up in case anyone on here was thinking about using them.

I sure hope you don't screw up that really low splitter on the bottom of your new bumper. You'll have to take driveways ever so slowly at an angle (even more so than before) and stop short of parking lot stops.

I'd never be able to keep a bumper like yours pristine for more than a month or two.

Looking great though! That's gonna be sharp.

I'm curious, are they simply doing a color match, or are they actually going to blend into the appropriate areas ?

Looking at the estimate is calls for "overlapping of panels". So I'm guessing that would mean blending. I'll ask Jay and find out for sure.
