Body kit has arrived!

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.

Yep that's for sure. I've owned several lowered cars with front bumper lips. An M3, RB swapped Nissan drift car and the like so I'm aware of the lip thing. The car is not lowered as of now but I have a set of coil overs that I'll be installing ASAP. On that note, I'm gonna be doing rotors and ss brake lines and powder coating the calipers as soon as I get the car back. I installed a B&M short shifter in it the day before it went to the body shop for the body kit. Also looking into forced induction but not sure I like any of the kits on the market. If I go that route I'll more then likely fab a setup myself. We will see I guess.

Got an update from Magnum Collision this morning. The car is supposed to be getting paint this afternoon and should be done the middle of next week!! I can't wait!!!

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.
