Not sure on the wing since it came with the car when I got it... but it looks like the Misha GT2 style to me.... just wish I could get a carbon fiber wing blade for it!

Thanks for the info but I am very certain as it is not misha since the misha's bottom half is GT3 base.

Any future plans on your car?

Does that mean I should get the roving red LED's too???? Sheesh, the last time I posted pics you said you liked it! LOL

Actually, you are partially correct. Since there was some minor body work issues when i first bought it I had to purchase replacement pieces... so I picked the bumper covers I liked and the side skirts I liked but they all ended up being from different manufacturers... so it is my version of a kit car I guess!


...As for the wing, since it was given to me with the car I am not sure who made it. As for plans... hopefully I can finally get that Evo Motorsport supercharger kit installed so its not just sitting on my garage floor!

Go for the Clear Bra (only on the car) and since you live in CA, you MUST go to Premier. I'm and East Coast guy with a place in Huntington Beach that I get out to about 3/4 times a year and I think Premier does the finest work ... hands down!

As for the 30 day wait ... maybe on the metal panels, but if they used the proper paint additives for the bumper(s) or applied multiple-layers of paint and clear coat, you may want to wait 6 weeks to let it all gas-off correctly.

Great, and even longer wait!!!!


Actually, Premier is right by my work and I have already sent them pictures of the car and told them about the new paint. We are scheduled for the end of January to get it done. Can't wait! Thanks for the recommendations guys!

Premier just finished putting on my clear bra on Saturday and did an excellent job! You can't even see it!!!!

I just hit my 30-day "paint curing" period too. Its worth it man. Just leave the car in the garage til then

Car looks great! See you around the bay area!

Well, the previous Caractere distributor I dealt with no longer carries that brand but I think LLTek still offers Caractere and shows the front bumper as available.

Spyder997, can you please post some pix with your new bumper? I would like to see what it looks like in high-res if possible. How much did you pay? How's the gaps? Any issues?

JimGT3, I'll post more pics tomorrow if its sunny (and I'll set the camera to higher resolution). The bumper fits perfectly with the exception of the plastic undercarriage pieces that originally fit on the stock bumper. I'll take pics of that as well.

No gaps, its a tight fit, and I couldn't be happier with the look and quality.

Thanks for your interest.

Even if you can see lines slightly, it's better than hearing that dreaded noise and knowing how the paint suffered.
Tried to add pic of my 997s with clear bra but could not make work. LOL!
