HERES HOW I FOUND IT AR PICK A PART FOR 50.00 DLLS. BRAND NEW THEYL SELL IT TO YOU FOR 225 WITHOUT SHIPPING OR SIDESKIRTS OR REAR DIFFUSER. ALL I WAS INTERESTED IN WAS THE BUMPER THO(ANOTHER PLACE TO PUT MY INTERCOOLER) WHAT IVE GOT DONE SO FAR WITHOUT BONDO AND PAINT...






I THINK ILL LAY A FLAT LAYER MAYBEE .30 OR 2 OF .15 2X2 TWILL OF CARBON FIBER ON THE BOTTOM TO PROTECT FROM OTHER DAMAGES LIKE PARKING BUMPS AND CURBS....


ALSO DO YALL THINK I SHOULD REMOVE THE MIDDLE BAR FROM THE CENTER OPENING I THINK IT LOOKS TOO RICEY

COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED.

mine looks good but it aint perfect. i also discovered that with fiberglass that they use a lot of bondo to get it to look straighti think that is lame but whatever. i sanded it too much in the pics but i got it to where i can tolerate it looks good from how it started. but ill let yall be the judge.

just primered and upclose i got a few cracks to bondo up i ran out so ill have to get more, it is only primer ill fix it before i take it back to the shop.


and i removed the center bar.
