Genearch: So what were you getting done at Luxury Motorsports? I sure wish Steve would get back to me on when they are going to get some LuxLinks in. And I love that Tom's roof spoiler. I was wondering what it would look like on a black SC.

I had a similar mentality as you about urethane as well. However I have an Auto Couture Full Bumper replacement and recently I had a blow out on one of my rear bridgestone potenza's. Thanksfully there was no damage and even more thankfully there was no damage to my HRE's!!! But the tow truck company ripped my bumper by tieing it wrong to the axle or somethign like that...

Anyways the fix was very easy to say the least (tow company paid for it) and that is the most strong benefit of fiberglass. It is infiintely repairable and the fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) stuff isn't that bad especially when its coming from a reputable company such as Auto Couture or another known manufactorer.

Something to keep in mind as urethane is defintely not as easy to repair if you get in an accident.

Default Joining the WALD Group!!

I just ordered my Wald Kit from Carson-Toyota on the group buy. In stock with CL discount... I could not resist. (I like the Tom's stuff but it takes a long time to get.) Shipped direct to my local Paint and Body Shop for paint. Hope to install it next week. Pics to follow.

Drool...... So what did you end up taking? Man, I wish I could have those wheels, the Wald Kit, the Toms spoiler...etc. Oh and did I mention, I wish they would sell me a LuxLink?

Sigh.... I thought it was hard getting parts for the Mcoupe.. (they sold only around 3000 of them, total) but for some reason, there is almost zero aftermarket support for this car. I can't even get aftermarket shocks or coil overs for this car. But they make 5 or 6 different style of springs.. Go figure....

Wow nice, Auto Couture is also a clean setup. Can't wait to see photos of the completed project.

The nice thing of black cars with body kits which goes here as well is that the gap between the kit and OEM panels is not so noticeable as in other colors. Wald kits seem to have plenty of body gaps . One of the reasons I put off this kit along with the lowered bumper.

LOL. Yeah, thank to you of course. The only thing is that my front has met the street no matter how much I try to cut the driveway, ramp, speedbump, dips, etc. Besides, I will not allow anyone but you to order parts and work on my car. I learned this the hard and expensive way. Stay cool bruddah.
