Looks like I’ll be taking off my front and rear bumpers again! I'll keep everyone posted.

Can't wait to see them on!! I haven't pulled the trigger on the colour i want yet. Im hoping yours will help influence my choice!

Slight tease... I had my installer text me a pic. I'll post more once I get home and can use my DSRL. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1366306756.859110.jpg

Looking great man! Subbed.

On a side note, sorry for the small picture size. If I have one complaint about Tapatalk it's how you upload pictures.

Luciano13 · 04-18-2013, 07:13 PM

OMG!!!! Now that is a thing of beauty

I think I may match the handles, side markers and headlights to the body. I want to keep the bronze subtle on the exterior. The only thing I can think of matching to that color would be my exhaust cans or a tow hook if I get one, but I honestly think that would even be to much.

You MUST do a sunset picture like this to show how great the 40th paint is...would like killer with your bronze lips!

That picture of your car is one on reasons I went with this color combo.

Fit is perfect!! I'll post some more pics this weekend.

Wiggins3377 · 04-20-2013, 04:17 PM

Diffuser test fit pic. I was originally going to only use double-sided tape to hold it on, but decided I should probably use some screws as well. Should have my rear bumper back on this evening.

So I finally finished installing the EvoR diffuser, and let me just say that the fit wasn't great. I had it on last night and immediately disliked how it all looked together, so I took my bumper off again today, pulled of the diffuser and used a lot of bolts to hold this thing on and make it fit the best I could. Overall I'd say its a 7.5/10, which sucks, but I guess I'll mess with it alittle more next weekend. I applied double sided tape, but it was pointless cause after I put all the bolts in (total of six holding it on) the diffuser was too tight and I couldn't pull off the tape cover anymore. My DSRL is out of battery so I took the best pics I could with my iPhone.

From a distance the fit doesn't look to bad:

... But when you get right next to the car you can see a gap:

Like I said I'll probably take the bumper off again next weekend and try to get the double sided tape to work and fill in the gap. If that works ill give the fit a 8.5/10.

I also had the time to install my Top Secret intakes today (cough... my old gen 3 intakes are for sale... cough, cough). Im gonna switch out the blue silicone with red, but once that's done I'll be happy. I didn't have time to take better pics of the car all together this weekend, but I hope to tomorrow. As always ill post pictures once I do.

Took another step towards dressing up my engine bay this week. Talked to Spencer at Z1 and he gave me a little discount on their complete hose set. Now all I need to do is find some 2.75" bore red couplers for my intakes (Amazon may be my best option). Hopefully I'll be able to install these on Sunday. I know I have to drain my radiator, but if anyone else has experiences/ advice they can share I'm all ears.

On another note I'm still waiting to get my Top Secret oil cap back from paint. My painter is waiting on his rep to come by so he can find a paint as close as possible to the barrels on my GS4. Hope to have that on by the car show on May 5.

The fit is spot on, not sure the offsets could have been any better. Gotta thank Mark at RavSpec for helping me figure everything out. I only took some detailed shots of the wheels, but I'll post more pics of the whole car once I have time to clean it this weekend. Let me know what you think.
