I will look at beemaz' lip and see how it looks in person. Hoping to see him next week at Pismo Beach.

I like how they look but for me... Customer Service bad and the shipping cost... like you said... sucks...

I like how it turned out. What do you think? Front piece extending to the skirt and then to the back. Really subtle yet mean looking. The black mesh worked out as well. I will be washing her when I get it home tomorrow.

Thanks for the feedback guys. It is much appreciated. Also open to constructive ones if you notice anything.

When I picked up the car, this Ferrari was in their shop along with two Lambos an R8 and one other exotic that I just can't remember.

I can just imagine the broomstick landing on this Ferrari's hind.

Hotrodz · 04-05-2016, 09:13 AM

I love the rear bumper...I think I may need one of those in my life!

GaleForce · 04-05-2016, 09:38 AM

That rear end is very eye catching Raf. Well done!

axmea? · 04-06-2016, 12:02 AM

I've always gone back to day one and looked at how it has changed.

So I lowered my car some more April 4. I was confident with how the new bumper and skirts sat higher compared to the Sunline replica that I had for a couple of years. Today I drove right through what seemed to be the largest speed bump known to mankind. I heard the worst 2.5" T-304 mandrel bent stainless steel tubing vs. a big mound of asphalt sound in my life. Scared the sh!t out of me and my passenger. After careful inspection, no harm to the Nismo kit AND thankfully none to the exhaust other than a scrape at the bottom. I must say, the CF cans are taking a beating from speed bumps. Sorry no pics of the car. I will take some this weekend.

I will also pick up my old parts from the shop this weekend for potential resale.
The Fujimura CF diffuser and the Tollboothwilley aluminum undertray is called for. I may hold off on the Tollboothwilley since I was told that they were making an extension piece that will match it up nicely to the 2015+ bumper.

My favorite night shot......until I come up with another one.
