Initial RJSD SSM PICS - 3pc dev - RJ kit

Just got back from the shop. Thought I'd post a few pics. Next ones will be from a real photoshoot after a nice wash and wax.

Nice Vinny I think this is the first 3G I've seen with the RJ kit and the wing spoiler (most have the decklid spoiler). Looks beautiful, can't wait to see it in person!

Is that a ding in your front bumper? Above the left grill?

Looks awesome! Can't wait to see more pics.

What's the dark spot just below the spoiler in the 3rd pic?

Overall, im extremely happy with the way it looks. There are some few minor details that you can see a bit "UP CLOSE" that I may have a high-end body shop (classic cars, ferraris, etc) take a look at to see if they can correct them.

As for the quality, its as solid as stock and the fitment is perfect.

The dark spot in pic number 3 was actully a smudge of paint I later had them remove. I'm at work right now and cannot see the pics so cant really answer the rest of the questions, but there is no ding on the front bumper. Im not sure what PPLAPW sees till I get home.

As for the exhaust, I did not notice. Guess I was too busy loooking at the kit.

Pics blocked at work? Huh...I've noticed lately that some people's pics are blocked for me, too (usually the ones I really want to see...isn't that always how it is?).

Anyway, the kit looks good, and I love the wheels. I think what PPLAPW is referring to is what appears to be a dent/ripple just above the lower grille on the driver side...might be what you're referring by the minor details...

Wow, looks really good, a few outdoor parking lot pics would do thye car justice, from 20 ft away with zoom. How much did this shop charge you? Looks like the the part right above the left vent that PPLa is talking about is casued by the mesh mount gamuts, maybe the screwed in the mesh too tight? I am def sure that could have been corrected in the primer phase if it was showing. I guess that is why the high end shop would be called to correct. Otherwise, the kit looks really sharp with the wheels and all. Def can't wait to see the whole thing.

Very nice

Now you need a subtle drop and you'll be golden.

Would you happen to have any side shots? If not could you take some the next time you take pics? I want to see what 19"s look like with no drop.

I forgot I had the car here with me at work. I went out to take a look. I don't see anything at all. Must be something in the pic.


The front bumper actually came out the best.

Color matching was my biggest fear. I told the shop owner that if you even think you will have issues let me know. He actually did a perfect job.

There is one angle where the rear looks a tad bit darker than the body, but in person its actually perfect. There must be something about those rear bumpers.

Trust me. Im one of the pickiest people on the planet when it comes to that stuff and im totally satsified with the match.

Hey bklynpanman. I see you have the comptech supercharger in your ride. One question where did you get it installed and how was the installation?

Thanks.
