My girlfriend (who also bought me the max) surprised me today with the news she ordered one!!!!

Jsmithsole.....where are you getting yours painted/installed?? Are you just going to unplug the corners? What fogs are you getting to fit the new bumper??

Let me know!!

MO,
I talked to Corey at RedlineMax today and it looks like they will be using my car for a test fitting, as they can't get a hold of the original guy. I'm going out later this week, I should know more details by tomorrow.

As far as paint, I hooked up with the guys at West Coast Customs and they might be painting it, but then I need to go to LA so we'll see. If any local so cal guys have a good trustworthy paint guy let me know...a .org deal is always good!!!

And as for the fogs, I guess the guys at Redline found some PIAA fogs that will fit, but for now I guess I'll leave the corners hooked up until I figure it out.

I'll post more info as I get it...

jsmithsole,

two things....

1) I dont have any side skirts on my car, would it look weird just having the front bumper put on?? Will it look out of place? Are you getting anything for the sides?

2) What are you going to put over the big hole in the middle?? Just leave it open??

Sorry for all the questions, never had a bodykit before.

thanks,

2)I've never had a body kit either, jumping in the deep end!! Corey at redline said that it will be coming with mesh inlays to fill up the holes...so hopefully it will be the mesh as the street scene grill that Deus has. I'll find out Sat. when I test fit!!!

jsmith, try to snap some quick pics when they test the bumper on your car so we can actually see how it looks on a real car with the kit rather than a photoshop

The front is a lot lower but I think they might adjust it because it sits way too low right now (like 4 inches, should be 5.5-6) But even at that low it didn't look too bad...
