Default Done

Bodykit finally put on, expected it tomorrow though, dont' have time for pics. After all said and done they charged me $2528 for the whole deal to intall and paint and the thing looks like factory to me. Right now debating on putting a DSR roof spoiler on or trying to sell it and go with UGO which is twice as much. any opinions out there let me hear them.

it may look factory, but just becareful on bumps and dips. Dont want the bumper to crack or the paint to chip.

I saw a replica vertex kit in person before. It looked kinda thin to me but i cant really compare it to the real thing because i dont know how thick the real one is suppose to be.

The UGO is much nicer IMHO. I've had both and like the UGO much better ( that's what ended up on my car ).

I totally agree. Probably nearly the same amount it would cost for kit, paint, and install for an authentic vertex kit.

But just as long as the results are excellent and your happy with the final product is what matters.

Cant wait to see the pics.

I thought UGO roofspoilers were discontinued. Didn't they stop making them? Have they started making them again?

Yeah, but I don't think I can accomplish this by the 30th of this month. I should have the latest goodies I just purchased for the car on the car by then. (crossing fingers). Too bad you cann't make it to this meet. (Not meaning to hijack this thread) It would have been the perfect time for me to look at that pesky rattle in your GS.

Default Pics in the dark

Pics in the Dark, didn't have time to do in the day, if I need to do in the day let me know, don't look like it came out bad at all, need a new exhaust that doesn't meet up at all.
MIght have to agree to go with borla, don't want giant canaster things hanging down either, I need to find out what gamma has, he has some class there.

Looks pretty good, but what can you really see in night pics? I am sure they did a good job tho. Defenitly need exhaust and the drop tho.
