Well we are almost at the finish line. Here are some updated pics. Hope to have car completed sometime next week.



No more gaps. Had to do a little work to fill the gap by the fog lights.







Accidentally ordered the side skirts for the L body. Oops. Had to cut these down a little. =]

Light work on the rear bumper.

Well, Almost at the finish line. Here are some updated pictures. Probably the last set of pictures I post before the car is completely done. Gotta save something for the end right? I have some additional pictures with the accent colors as its not going to be just white but I'll save that for end.

Prep for base coat.

Base coat complete on rear

Base coat completed on full kit

Hard to see but pearl added to base.

Better picture of the pearl here.

Very nice progress! You must be very excited. Do you mind measuring the clearance before the kit and after to see how much it lowers the car please?

I can try, might be tough though because air controller is already installed and I think the car has already been lowered. I think I'm picking it up tomorrow night.

Yeah it doesn't matter if it's lowered, just want to know how much the kit lowers the car by so the difference will be the same when measuring a before and after.

The front lip "lowers" the car 1" from the bottom of the front bumper. Hope thats the info you are looking for.

Nice.....I'm a little on the fence about the piece on the front bumper next to the foglights. It looks more like an afterthought than part of the kit.

That was one of the hardest parts to get to fit on the bumper. Definitely not a great fit for the front but the guys at Platinum did a great job. I'll put some better pictures up next week. Also taking the car up to San Francisco for the Blox show.
