Painted Lowers...

I know I am not the first and will not be the last but wanted to share my pics anyway. Ordered the OEM front aero piece, OEM GT2 side sills and OEM rear valance primed from Suncoast (props to them for a good price and on schedule delivery).

<O</O
Then headed to a very reputable shop in town (Katy Coach Works) and had them painted. Waited 8 weeks for the paint to cure and then had them installed. I will be taking it in for clear bra next week.

<O</O
I realize everything is subjective but I am very impressed with how it changed the look of the car. I looked into doing this 2 years ago and held off, as my local dealer at the time (AZ) simply wanted more than I thought it was worth.

<O</O
Anyway, if you have been on the fence about this and have it in your budget, go for it!

<O</O<O</O
I will take better pics later but here it is now. Let me know what you think…

Thanks, I ordered the LEDs from Ray @ ROTTEC, they are forum sponsor. Very happy with how they look/update the car and they come with a 1 year warranty.

OP: What exactly is the OEM front aero piece? is it just the front splitter or is it a whole new front pumper cover?

Looks really good. I did mine too. Very subtle way to set your car apart and a clean look.

The front aero peice is the front splitter that comes from the factory "aero kit". IMO it's a big improvement from the original peice. Suncoast sell sells the individual aero peices or one can purchase the entire kit.
