We could have streched it legs on the super secret high speed test strip.
Party? I'm currently recovering from a hospital stay. Plus my car has some issues I need to address soon...

Ed, That car was a complete take down, with a spoiler height mod(see rear pic) as well as the spoiler paint to match. DC 9700 was used (single stage at 450.00 a gallon) plus all the primer (k38) and accessories. So its one of those"if you have to ask.....Just kidding. A job like that runs about 7500.00. One could have their car done with a tapeback technique that delivers good results if done correctly for around 4000.00. Only mirrors,lights, and some trim need be removed for this job. There is a tremendous amount of work involved either way that most people never see or realize.

Really nice work by the way.

The 10's with 52 offset still sit in their boxes untouched.

I was curious if anyone else has done the washer pip delete at the front bumper cover. No one has noticed it as yet and I was curious if I wasted my time on this? Just getting feedback on this mod for future projects. Thanks.

By the way, are these GTS fender flares in the rear?

No Paul, they are actually Front fenders cut at the right area, flip perfectly to opposite sides of the rear if that makes sense. You get a smooth flare, rather than the "shelf type flare" found on the GTS. These actually widen the car by 2 and 1/2" per side but you can't see an obvious protrusion, it just looks wide and fat.

I had not noticed until you mentioned it. I am thinking of doing this on mine sometime in the future. Was it easy to do?
You have side markers on the US cars, but no indicator repeaters in the front wing/fender is this normal? Could you have deleted the side markers or is this law?
