Talking Another Great Custom Job From Ftc
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. Thanks to Rob at Final Touch Collison in West New York , NJ I received my car today. This guy just shocks me everytime. I know why people trust him and have nothing but great things to say about his work. He even when as far as custom installing the mesh and blacking out my rear lights














Here are some cars he had in the shop.

Ferrari 360 modena


This one is getting the full Techart GT Street conversion


This one is a very rare widebody advant



Turbo Cab



And Robs very own BEAST

Great paint job, but what's your reasoning behind reducing your airflow to the radiators by 40%+?

I do not think it is reducing the air flow since there is there are 3 openings in the RUF bumper and only 2 in the OEM bumper.

If the installation of the turbo RUF bumper was just for the "bling" then there is no problem. However, from a perfromance standpoint you have reduced the available airflow and velocity by at least 40% by installing the mesh.

If you want maximum performance, you want maximum airflow.

Car looks great, tho.

The mesh he used is extremely fine which is the worse for airflow. On the standard 996 or GT3 bumper, I would not run anything to block the vents. On a Turbo bumper, at most, I would install grills.
