Yes,
I owe you guys pictures, however I mention that I want the car 100% before I take any final photos of the project....The car is current at another shop for adjustments on the wheels and a few maintenance items, such as wheel bearings. This should be completed by next week! So look forward to the post!
Another Quick teaser: (The car is dirty)

i think you had said awhile back on another thread you were going to start this project. good for you!!
few thought and questions.
Seeing the PD kit online my thoughts that it's not as wide as the real BS but then again that's not a deal breaker because the bodyshop can always widen it if need be for additional $$$...
How was the overall fitment and price of the kit?
Also on you're wheels you can just have the barrels changed out to the offset you need if they are 2/3 piece wheels...
Looking forward to more pics!!

nice even though the wheel fitment looks off for now...i'd lower her a little more, esp in the front....
Does the diffuser pop out or is it one piece with the rear bumper?

Ya hints why I now decided I need new wheels. You should have seen it without spacers haha. The Diffuser is one piece.... kind of sucks, I had the VIS Carbon Fiber Diffuser for the W209 on my stock bumper, wish that fit still.

On the diffuser you can have the bodyshop cut it out and make it into it's separate piece and you can get it wrapped in cf... or else have it wrapped on the car the way it is now but i think that'll cost more..

Looking great. The body shop seems to have done an amazing job putting it on. With the right wheels it's gonna look perfect.
The only thing that seems a little off, in the design of the kit, is the rear flares. They seem a lot more rounded than the original BS.
Either way, looking great.
