why did you mold the rear bumper? Molded bumpers have one purpose in life.... to crack..

Bomex molded looks damn good. Makes me almost want to get it. But since you are goin to get a CF hood and trunk, why not find someone who gan snag you a pair if the Ganador CF aero mirriors with blue mirrors.................

Thanks again guys. Yup MB black is what I was thinking too. I painted my "R6" MB black and it is a very nice base black. Very flat and very deep. Turns alot of heads especially with fully polished rims and frame. Anyway back to the car, i know some of you guys are saying "yea wait till you get bumped from behind" or "it will def crack" or anything along those lines, well believe me, I've been tapping and bumpin all day long to test for any cracks that might be caused by impact and so far its all good. lol So if it does crack at one point or another, then oh well......atleast I'll have had SOME time to enjoy it. It'll give me a good excuse for the Vertex.

kaotiq - yea I've seen plenty of SC's with a Bomex kit but not molded, hence the beginning of the project

Sinister SC - Fill me in man, where and what are Ganador CF aero mirrors???? but remember my pockets aren't very deep....lol

theres a guy from houston that had the full bomex rear on a white SC also. Also you should pull out all the windows before you paint it, so it wont chip around the window areas in the future.

Ganador mirrors are styled like M3 mirrors but sooooooooooo much cooler in my opinion.

All you gotta do is find someone that deals wit them and get them to order a set. I'll be able to do it soon, but you didn't hear that from me. I'm not advertising anything.
