Irish...did you get the front splash guards? It helps finish out the 8 with the apperance package. Just got mine installed today...despite the 24 inches of snow here in Indiana. Check out Pete's yellow 8...

Thustn, How much was the de-badging? I've been two places and they both want $500 to debadge because they said they would have to weld the holes and paint the whole trunk lid to do it right.

Tracer, I paid $325 cash for wing and debadge. I'm not sure how much they would charge for just the debadge. I'm thinking around $100-$150. They did not paint the entire trunk lid only the back then blended it at the top. I dropped it off on thursday and it was ready the next morning. I will be going back when i get my veilside kit. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hey all,
I'm done!! Here is how she looks after adding the AP!! Easy enough to do. Took my brother and I about 7 hours to install the front air dam, side flares and rear flares.
