Did the shroud around the headlight projector fall off the projector?

Wow - looks awesome. Congrats!

I have been contemplating the sideskirts - do they in get in the way when jacking up the car? My ride height is set kinda low and I am not sure it it will interfere with the the low profile jack.

Good question, I'm curious to hear the answer on this as well.

I have no problem getting mine up with a low pro jack... I just put some hockey pucks on the jack to provide some extra space.

It is a bit of a challenge to get my car on the lift though as the arms get reallllllly close to the carbon sides.

Very few of them on the forums, and this is truly one of a kind for sure.
Thanks man. Rare color and specil kit

I installed the kit myself and had about 1.5-2 hours of total labor into it working alone. It is really a straightforward job, and especially simple if you have a lift to work on.

Carbon fiber accents look great on MRM.
Thanks man. I figured it wasnt a massive amount considering I looked and was not comfortable drilling into my car. I can take metal out of an eye in 2 minues but will not drill through plastic moulding on m car LMAO

No experience and tools means it was like an 9/10 for me

It was a bit expensive but it really makes the car look great and more modern.

That was the only no Toms part but without it it looks like the *** is in the air relative to the rest lol

I also fully understand DIY, because it has been my model for as long as I can remember.

JMHO...
As usual Lobox ( aka Dr F ) knows whats up. I am **** as hell and have no experience doing this work. I knew it was a bit high but for peace of mind, warranty, and availability. The other shops I called were wanting 3 days with the car. These guys got it in there and finished it in less than 24 hours. I was off that day and my wife got home from work super early so we figured lets just do it now while we can

Photos will show it can be put on a lift

Good to know but I have seen pics with the MRM with side skirt in the air on a lift so it possible. If they bang up the insides I dont care

Looks great man! I know exactly what you're talking about, $650 so I don't have to waste a day getting dirty, on my back, in the sun...and WITH the peace of mind knowing that if anything went wrong you could take it back? It's a no brainer....i used to be all about DIY, but now in my older years, I'm not getting down there and doing it...heck, I pay to get my car detailed now! Nice work!

Love the look of the car! The color, kit and wheels all come together nicely. I wish I could have gotten red as a choice.
