Suvneer - the full meal deal

Gary put together a whole package deal for a front bumper with carbon lip, rear bumper and side skirts. Here is shot of them being loaded for the trip to the body shop. They are being prepped and I'll take the 240 over in a few days for color matching. Then new body pieces go on and a three slat grill. I think along with the Remus exhuast, it will be like having a new car.

I went by the shop to day to drop off the parts that didn't need paint. They had the rear bumper on and had installed the factory chrome. It fit perfect and looked nice. So I've got the ones from the kit in case I need them in the future. The old front bumper was off and they were moving pieces over to the new one. Should be done this week. I'll get some pictures soon.

Gary at Suvneer is a straight up G. I have ordered couple of CF products from him and they were all great. Very fast shipping and great products. I recommend him to anyone.

thanks man. My car is going into the body shop pretty soon because i got rear ended and i want to buy the full kit also but i want to make sure the fitment on the rear is spot on before i do it, or the body shop is going to charge me extra if mods are needed.

I'm not going to believe you until you actually start working on your car.

I spoke with the tech and he said the only modification he did was to the front bumper plastic reinforcement. There is a veritical stablizer behind the mesh that he cut out so it is open all the way across behind the center mesh.

The front bumper impact bar did not have to be altered. The bumper reinforcement bolt up without modification. He did say some holes were a bit out of alignment making the bolts tight but not bad for an aftermarket piece. The new fog lights bolted rightup to the factory locations. Yes, I did use the factory original impact strips with the side lights. It fit perfectly.

The side skirts (rocker panels) bolted up to the factory fasteners. He said the skirts fit better with the factory parts than the ones that came with the kit.

The rear bumper bolted up with out any modification. The did use the factory chrome strips that fit perfectly.

All in all, I'm very happy with the end result. Thank you Gary for helping me take my car in a sportier direction.

Now I need to get some coil overs and find someone selling their clear headlights.
