Well I completed a few things over the last two days.

Change oil, spark plugs, coils, brake fluid, added rear bumper and PSE exhaust also washed the car today. Here is a Pic of the bumper.






Next will be some wheels and a lowering the car some. Thanks.

That's a Champion F77 CF intake - probably the finest aftermarket intake available for these cars. I looked at installing one about a year ago, but it wouldn't fit with the supercharger pulley and active Aero hydraulics. Bumper looks like a GT2, but looks like a NB car so must be a look-a-like. Car looks great, but I think the dual tips with that bumper look a little busy with all the louvers in it. The GT2 uses a single slash cut tip per side. Might want to look at something like that unless you have PSE in which case there aren't really any good options.

Keep up the good work as I'm looking forward to the new wheel choice.

Finally hard wired my radar detector. Fairly easy using an add a fuse. Sure beats having a power cord dangling down getting in the way.

Cool, didn't know a widebody bumper would tuck in on the sides with the extra width, or did you remove a bit from the center and put the two halves back together?

Also, it doesn't look like you opened up the other intake slot in the decklid for the passenger side inlet to that airbox, but maybe it's just not clearly visible. If you haven't, you can see the shape of the punch out molded into the bottom side and can buy the corresponding trim for the hole separately.

Looking good though.

Love the GT2 rear bumper, any more pics?
I was thinking of fitting it to my C2S but being a NB I thought it would look off, yours looks spot on!
How easy was it to fit?
Thanks

Thanks for the compliment. No I did not cut the bumper the extra width is on the edges its hard to tell. What's crazy was i used all the original holes I should have taken pics of the install.

As far as wheels I think I decided to go with some concave wheel. I really love your Champion wheels.

Your car looks great with the Ruf pieces.

I do have more pics of the bumper. I can tell you that your exhaust tips would need to be modified as this bumper sits lower. I have some "C" type brackets holding the bottom of the bumper which uses the original screws, you can not see the brackets. I used all the original holes so I did not cut or make new holes to the bumper or the body to make it fit.

You can PM for more details but honestly its was real easy job.
