in progress...

Carlsson RS front bumper and rear apron and exhaust pipes.

Carlsson 22" rims and lowering module (might change to Renntech V3)

Rea badges changed to matte grey, might do that to the front chrome at a later date.

Waiting for the GL550 fenders.

Car should be ready end of the week or monday next week. Will post more pics.

Nice choices all the way around.

I just got them to spray it in matte black together with the rear badges.

or are you asking if they cut off the tail pipes or painted the tail pipes as is on the car?
I will need to check with that.

No - I was just wondering if it was spray paint or power coat / something else.
