Did you get your front at NRauto as well? Was the fitment bad as the rear was?

2 things. I was under the impression that the .2 front and rear bumpers were different enough that it wouldn't be a direct bolt-on anyway so that would be reason for a bad fitment.

Are you having the rest of the car painted???

Painted

Fitment was crap cause kit was crap. Just to many problems. The owner took over this cause I'm in afghanistan and really worked with me. Neal at NRAUTO told me to send the kit back to him and then he would to the MINOR adjustments he so calls said needed to be done. TWO FREAKING MONTHS and he sat on it and made me pay to send it back!! LAME. So David at the sanford shop took over and had to fill in gaps and cut here and there. Because it is a .2 there is MINOR work that need to be done.. LIKE JUST THE LIGHTS. Everything should be direct bolt on. The GT3 front is a little different and you need to cut some things and take the radiator ducts off i believe but thats about it. They just fixed some minor chips and lil scratches and just repainted i guess. Super CLASS A ++++ work from David. Just on top of his game and does amazing work. He has been working hard so when i come home in a week for R&R it will be done. Great! Here it is painted.

Keep us updated! Looks good man!

Can you tell me if you get any error codes for the front DRL's? Also do you know if your car has real Day-time Running Lights once you turn on the car now?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm in the same process but about 5 steps behind you haha

I would imagne they painted those pieces seperatly so maybe they are just pics of mid reassembly. Did you get a carbon rear wing or center section carbon? painted black or body colour?

if its not carbon it would really look nice to wrap it to match the hood roof and so on.. flat wrap. Carbon mirrors an wing center section would be baller too

either way its going to be amazing taking off in the car for drive and pics for us on the board.

cant wait
