Sat ant was removed completely. I don't use sat radio, and the wart is just extra weight with a high COG!

That's a real Houdini act on the antenna wart. Looks like a Euro spec. That's the first time I've seen the scoops painted. I suspect others will follow once they see how good it looks.

Awesome work! Must have given you great pleasure to remove idiotic wart. Would love to do the same. What did they use to fill in hole?

Moe tells me they used an aluminum welding material to plug the hole, and then hand smoothed it. Very technical to do even by an expert. Then they painted the entire roof so the color would be even. Looks great and OEM to my eyes.

If moe sees this thread, he could add more details.

First time I saw the .2 GT3 pics, I said those black ducts had to go. Would have been my first mod if I kept my allocation. The wing end caps and mirrors just finish it all off. IMO, the external styling of the .1 GT3 and RS was better in every regard. The devil is in those details.

I'm so much happier looking at my .2 GT3 since I got it back from Moes because now she looks right from every angle.

I like the wart removal.

However, everything else is a no go for me. I like the contrast.

Drifting,

Great looking car! Love the matching intake. Much better than the cheap plastic...

As much as I hate the wart, but thinking about repainting the entire roof to get rid of it is a no-go for me. Durability-wise it will never match the paint from factory. Do you have PPF over it?
