Thanks gentlemen.
I was told a few weeks, so I'm guessing some time in the first week of August with the 2nd week being the latest. We shall see. I posted these a while back in April, I felt it would be nicer to see everything in sequential order instead of filtering through posts in between.
Edit: Bought Carbon Signal fenders while half asleep without Wife approval. No fun explaining that one. Seriously took logging in paypal and clicking a button. Well, guess I have fenders OTW
I have no clue how much it's gonna cost to get them painted and fitted on the car. I got them in FRP. Thinking of wrapping the outer curved fender vent thing after it's done in one color.
Reference pic below...
Edit: (18JUL13) Alright so these fenders I mentioned above. I can get them prep and painted by Carbon Signal and sent to me. Question I have for you all is fitting them. Is there a chance I'll have to repaint them if they don't fit correctly? I have no clue what is needed to make them fit properly. They said they fit very well with minimal "work", I'm just trying to understand what work may be needed.
Edit: (18JUL13) Thanks for the replies Gentlemen. From what I hear, magnetic black isn't too hard to paint match, but I'm clueless with the whole fitment thing. Carbon Signal did say that they prepainted and then fit the fenders on the Nismo they used for the GB thread. But I was just told it would run another couple hundred in shipping turned me off on it as it would spend a total of $500-$600 more on top of the $650 I sent already, $100 being in shipping. I'm trying to clarify the additional shipping costs and will edit if I'm wrong. I find it kind of crazy that it costs nearly as much in shipping as the fenders cost by themselves. Not used to this International shipping thing then...
Edit: (02AUG13) [Comments below are not about this portion of the post] Talked to Sam@GTM today. Nothing really to update unfortunately. He still says the cooling upgrades need installed and tuning performed. This was the same thing a month ago. Only thing I can surmise is that he is juggling projects based on priority. With mine having to be with them till August anyways, they are using ALL 9 months to complete the vehicle. I'm fine with it, as long as it's done when I arrive. They know my ETA back to the States, and am confident it will be G2G. He did say everything will be installed in the next week or so, which gives two solid weeks of tuning, and tracking down any unknown issues. In reality, that should take no more than a few days, but priority of work dictates the timeline. One bit of good news is that Sam will be sending me pictures and updates as it finishes up. That I'm excited about. I haven't gotten pics of my car since June, and those were of the issues they had to take care of. Before that was April. There should be a lot of information coming down from TSC builds. I believe there are 3 G's, and two Z's ATM. I don't doubt a few more will jump on the boat if the results are good.
