TechArt Bumper & GT2 Wing
After a really long time of waiting (delayed the finish date 4 times), I finally got my car back today! I also had the shop paint my bumperettes and black plastic trims under the sides of the car..
the replica techart bumper fitment is okay, not perfect
the mashaw gt2 wing fitment was okay, again not perfect
total bill from bodyshop including new interstate battery (since the shop killed my battery by leaving the radio on) $1500
next mod: posche techequipment SSK, already ordered from brandywine, i think tom no longer works there.. =( $260 shipped
you guys wouldn't believe it but.... when driving in the city today with my new bumper, freaking ran into this HUGE hole in the ground... i heard some serious scratching... went outside to see the damage... the black paint on the front lip came off along with some of the fiberglass... ahhhh... i guess i'm going to have to go find some black touchup paint or something...

awsome!!!!! thanks for the avatar!!!!
martin, the wing came out $3400 from mike at MA shaw (top wing CF) but the one for the turbo is less, he charged me more because it was made especially for a 4S. you might want to take a look at mine before you order it... there were a few problems that i had... like, mike at MA shaw seem to have oversprayed it when paiting the bottom of the CF wing black and the paint got a little on the top (the rough feel) and also the decklid fit well on the car but there is still a gap. call me up and you can take a look at the wing in person..
for the front bumper fitment, where the bumper meets the body near the side (where the light is), the bumper is not 100% completely flush with the body... this is true with both sides.. i attached some closeups on the pictures.. the bodyshop guy told me this bumper already fitted extremely well for aftermarket bumpers, but still not as good as OEM of course...
for the brake cooling ducts, i just went to hope depot and bought some rings that fit in the hole. rpm racing had the rings powder coated and glued on.. hehe.. $25 look =)

Damm Jason wtf, my corner lights are totally flush, that's weird :/That wing is damm expensive, I've heard of MA Shaw fitment issues and didn't realize you ordered it or else I would have told you about them. Overall it came out great man
