Default Cervinis Body Kit Question

I had a '95 GT several years back and got rid of it and went to the Jap cars and am looking at getting a new '09 GT. I am looking into various mod options prior to getting the car. I have been looking at performance to appearance mods. On my previous car which was a '04 350Z, I had a body kit installed. The body kit was all fiberglass and it came shipped from the mfr white. My Z was black and when I got any rock chips, etc, I had small white dots that began to appear. Soon, they overcame the front bumper. So, since I am wanting to eventually get the Cervinis body kit if I get a Mustang, I want to know what color the kit is when it ships from Cervinis? If the kit is white, I think I will get a white stang so that chips and any potential damage that might occur due to poor Alabama roads will not be as noticeable.

I never really liked white cars, but my wife recently got a white car with blue racing stripes and I love the color of it. So, I will definitely not be disappointed if I have to get a white one. I would rather a black or other dark color, but I know how much of a PITA it is to keep clean, etc.

Thanks for any help you guys might be able to provide.

Zach

I have a chin spoiler and hood from Cervini. The hood was white, the color of their gel coat. Don't know if they do other gel coat colors.

The chin spoiler was that yellowish white stuff. Its made of some kind of flexible rubbery material like bumpers are. It is the color of the material - hasn't been colored or coated by Cervini.

After some looking around on Cervini's forum last night, I found out that their body kits are white injected polyurethane and their hoods are fiberglass.

My fiberglass hood came straight from cervini's coated in a white, uncured gel coat, ready to paint.

Use a good primer and several coats of clear (after base coat of course) and regardless of color the chips will not show the unpainted part color (unless it is one hell of a stone,rock, or object impaled into the car at a good velocity )


Mines black and though I have had chips it has never made it past the clear (which turns white when struck) just needs a touch up and wet sand and rub out and done car is black again!
