Well none of this would have been done but a little over a month ago my car was rear ended on my way up to Philly to meet a photographer for the wedding. I have always wanted to paint all of the plastic on this car body color and this was just a good reason for it to get done. I was going to do the splitter as well but it was a pain plus I saw one done and I just thought it was too much. I bought the CF splitter instead to get rid of all the lower plastic pieces. So everything should be installed today depending on what time I get off. I will take pictures today or Tom and post a thread, all depends on if I can get it to my buddies shop in time to get him to lay the stripes

Agreed, thats why I still have the stock V6 rockers (flat black like the GT500) to go with the CDC front lip. I have GT skirts aswell but it looks better with the stocks.

I'm curious to see what it looks like, don't think I've seen a GT500 like that.

That's going to look really good.

I agree with what you said about the front chin spoiler. I've seen them painted and it's just too much, doesn't look right. Where did you get the CF chin spoiler from? Price?

I haven't seen one with it either, and trust me I'm itching to get this thing on
