Can't wait!! I'll be looking forward to this. The painter looks like he did a great job though.

[TRC-SS]

So he sent me a better picture. Still hard to see cause its a crappy cell picture but basically its half of what i originally wanted and half of what you guys were saying would look good.

Basically he followed the concept of the Ports with the thin line going through the middle. He only painted the front edge of the lower lip orange and all of the rest of the center black. so i guess it could be best of both worlds but not sure. If i dont like it he would have to paint the whole bumper over again so there are no lines. Ill have to test it on the car, but i think it will look good.





Whatcha think?

I'll be adding vinyl hash strips, ill leave them on for a while, if I like them ill be painting them on using the same color as the black on my bumper.

Then car will be back into storage until April.

Then I am planning an appointment with Ted at Jannetty Racing for the new SLP TVS2300 supercharger hopefully in or around June. I'll be getting the 3years 36,000 mile warranty with it and then no mods for a long time, well until the supercharger is paid off

haa right on sounds good!

I can't wait to get a S/C.

Love the new pictures!!

You were right, as its literally half of what we where thinking and half of your idea, ha-ha. The way it sits is unique, as nobody has thought about following the same idea with the think line just like the ports. I think I like it though as it still provides a low level look due to the small orange paint at the bottom of the splitter. I think you should keep it, especially if it looks good once you get it on the car. That'll be the clincher, as you'll know if it's what you like or not. It looks badass though man. It is the best of both worlds. It's turning out awesome man!

Thanks guys, i gotta see it in person, crappy lights and crappy cell phone pictures probably dont do it justice. Hopefully i can go pick it up soon.

[pierre777]

Looks great bro I really dig the painted front lip it's gonna rock

[TRC-SS]

Few better shots taken today!

This will be installed monday night. Then hood comes off and will be fixed and re-painted.

Rear bumper is off car now and currently getting a spray of black!

[TRC-SS]

Seeing the way he painted the lower lip in person is absolutely SICK!!

I love it.

[SummoneR]

Very nice!! I love it.
