gt2 decklid conversion

just finished with the gt2 decklid conversion and refinished the gt2 front bumper.
I had Peter at Alliance autobody in Pasadena to paint the parts to match and did the install myself. very happy with the result.
bumper and decklid are from misha i believe, bought them new from member here. fitment is actually pretty good.
let me know what you think.
here's Alliance link below. they definetely got my recommendations. Peter is a great guy, tell him Sonny sent you

Looks great, I also had the GT2 decklid wing installed a few months ago which was purchased through Misha. Stang up guy.

How was the fitment of the 3rd LED brakelight from Maxspeed?
Wish they had it in RED as well not just clear or black.

I don't think your front GT2 bumper is from Misha becasue when I spoke with him they never made front GT2 bumpers.
You probably have the Precision Porsche bumper which is apparently a really good fit.

LED brakelight fitment is ok, i wish it has that slight bow like the oem one.
the front bumper is definetely not precision, coz the grill is one piece on mine, i believe precision bumper is a 2piece.
regardless, the fit on mine is pretty good, the only modification that i have to do is to cut out a notch for the side turn signal to latch on

So then you have the Getty design front bumper. I believe that's the one piece.
Regarding the led light I heard it didn't have that slight bow...but if our rear led tail lights are made one day(wishful thinking) we are going to have to go with the led brake light option to make it look complete...

Looks great, and the SY doesn't hurt either!

Your ride height looks good as well. What suspension components are you running? Any scraping issues? I'd love to lower mine but scrape a lot as is in my subdivision near the mountains.
