whew, it's a good thing you braced that huge wing with all that heavy welded steel! Would hate for it to fly off due to all the drag. or dent your trunk with all the downforce.  j/k, I dig the scoop though.

the finish on the bumper could be better in mine and my body guys estimate, but the build quality and fitment are out-standing, the thing bolts in there perfectly just as it should, my body guy is just going to fill, sand, smooth, primer and paint it, theres no cutting, extra glassing etc to be done to it, kudos to kaotic on that one!

Same here. Do you have any better pics of the hood scoop on the car? Can't quite make it out.
I like that color on your front bumper. What color are you going to paint the car?
