If you've followed th whole thread, you'd know that I went off the road and messed my car up a bit. I just got my car back to drive it home (texas) this weekend, I'm supposed to drop it back off early this week to get both bumpers, both tailights, and sideskits on. Will post a bunch of pics when that happens, as of now, the front and sides are still the same as previous pics. Refer to the earlier pics to see the difference inbetween the trunk earlier and now. It was all scratched to hell, now it's all nice and new. Except a little dusty in the pics ... I am aware of all the flaws, and am working to fix them. I leave for arkansas here in a few hours. Hopefully they finish my car up quickly, because I think my boss is getting tired of carting me around lol. Take it easy,
Will
EDIT- I got the RB Grills powdercoated this weekend because there was no one that did it in arkansas. It matches my roof. Can't wait till everything's finally done...

if you car is still under warranty though, you can get the OEM tail light replaced at no cost. happened to my 8. i took it in, 'bout an hour later my car was back out w/the new tail lamp .

Hehe, I figurd people woud either like it or hate it so I'm not surprised. I really like the way it came out, I think it looks better in person. At the current stage, the pictures don't give it justice. The only thing I'm on the fence about is whether the front bumper sould be 2 toned. I'm going to have RB type 2 nose, I thik it might be cool if the lower lip was dark grey. I am already painting the plastic part on the OEM rear bumper to match the trunk. So I think it would tie it all in. Or maybe I'm just going paint crazy. lol.

Figured I'd give an update. I had to find a new guy to install the bumpers & do the paint because the one I had doing it was doing a sloppy & SLOW job. So the car goes in friday to the new guy. I painted the calipers on my car and started a fiberglass enclosure. The pictures are attached,

Great work!
I love racing beat stuff! Yes I have the racing beat spoiler, but other bodykit parts to compliment it. I really like the type 2 nose aswell. I was very tempted to buying that but at the time it hadnt been released yet. But i think its a great looking kit!
I have the racing beat screens aswell, must admit best quality ive seen. I know of another "grill" available and doesnt even come close to the quality of RB. GO RACING BEAT!!

I like racing beat a lot also, quality products for cheaper ('cept that pricey intake, lol). The RB spoiler is top notch, I really like it also. I had my RB screens powdercoated to match the indention/hood/trunk of my car last weekend. I will get them installed when I put on the RB bumper. They are a lifesave because my oil screens are starting to get beat up!
Thanks for the compliment,
Will

Yeah the RB Customer Service is top notch. When I was getting my bumper shipped, the shipping company wouldn't do after hour shipping (I was working) unless you payed a whopping 100+ dollar fee. Racing Beat called the shipping company and helped me work it out so I didn't have to pay that. (They called when they were almost to my house, and I met them there) RB ME haha
