Looks like perfect color match gives you another reason to just pull up a chair and just stare for awhile.

Where did you get the "Carrera" side stickers? Did you put them on yourself? If so difficulty level?

Looks really nice- I didn't think I'd like it, but it works well on your car. Maybe it's the color and other mods you've done that help set it off.

I saw one a while back on a black 01 coupe and it didn't look good, largely because the rest of the car was bone stock.

The shop was great. They did around ten spray outs to find the right color. Yellow is a ***** to match. When they finally settled on the color, they called me down and I okay'd it. It's interesting, they spray the paint on a small rectangular panel which is attached to a popsicle stick looking thing. They hold it up to the car with some special light that is supposed to simulate sunlight (we were inside). I guess they do that over and over till they get it right. Apparently they did. I'm happy with it.

Thanks, ummm, I think....

No need to give the backhanded slam. Just say you don't like it. It's all good and I'm really happy with it. I'm too old to give a **** what other people think at this point in my life

Superior Auto Body in Largo. At least I think it's in Largo. Could be Pinellas Park. Fantastic shop. I am completely sold on them. They aren't cheap, but they're reasonably fast and do great work. Judging by the size of their facility and the number of high end cars there, I'm guessing I'm not the only one that thinks they're pretty damn good.

Where did you get the "Carrera" side stickers? Did you put them on yourself? If so difficulty level?
I got them from a forum member and he put them on. I would put the difficultly level as moderately high. Especially if you haven't worked with vinyl before. It took him a couple tries. I like the retro look.

I don't think anyone has actually copied this wing yet. Hence me having to buy the real thing. Lucky for me, Newport tipped me off to a great ebay auction. I owe Newport a beer or two for this one
