Just got her back...

Updated status on some of the other forums, but hadn't gotten to this one yet... After about 10 weeks in the body shop, she's finally back. New turbo-look front and rear bumper covers and side rocker panels. While she was in there I put smoke side markers with silverized bulbs as well as performed the amberectomy, again replacing with silverized bulbs.

Here's how she ended up looking:

Very happy with the results and moving on to interior mods (mostly audio, but a few touches like exterior paint match and CF pieces).

the new front looks sick, how much did it cost you without paint?

Thanks guys!

Let's see: the parts were $899 for the front bumper and side rockers, the rear bumper was $699. The installation price included paint and that was $2100... I'm afraid to lower it any more, any driveway on my route already makes me nervous, but I'm thinking I can get that aggressive look by kicking out the wheels a little bit with some spacers.. So the only stuff left on the outside are the spacers and changing the third brake light with a smoke colored brake light, to match the sidemarkers...
