I have heard a lot of criticism of my trunk being 'ricer' but it's all good. Everyone has a right to their opinion.
I mean I like it. It serves your purpose. I wouldn't/couldn't do it with my car bc I use it as a dd. it looks really tasteful and I know that stuff is expensive too. Just shows how much work you've put into your car!

I appreciate the comment. I use mine as a DD as well but Im divorced and don't have any young children to haul around it so that makes it a lot easier. Lol

I did all the stereo work myself and the money wasn't too bad because I use eBay and used part forums as much as possible.

I will be selling mine if someone wants it. It would have to ship from Canada though. Silversky545...It is painted Windveil Blue!!

I am replacing it with a GT/CS rear bumper. I want to just get a bumper that has stock exhaust exits. I will be selling the bumper and the license plate relocation panel. I also have the Saleen exhaust for it and the PJ and Dan Gurney exhaust tips.

I'll need to get rid of them soon. I have too much body parts sitting in my garage and not enough storage space.

I too would like to have the GT/CS rear bumper... Although I'm considering building my own more functional version of the apr rear defuser.... I think the gt/cs rear is the best looking rear bumper out for our years... Although the defuser is just for looks an I'd like it to b functional... The apr is too pricey ... So I think I can build one from aluminum, texture it, paint it black and paint the lower portion of the stock bumper black as well... I just need to find somebody who can build it lol
Although this is sweet too

but an easier route would be to paint these defusers black and the lower portion of the OEM bumper black as well.... I'm not sure what that would look like but it might look good... I need a photoshop done

Everything looks great. Except for the TV in the trunk! I understand the show thing, but don't give into peer pressure!

X2 on that! The first pic is badass!!

It's all good on the TV comment. I will see how it is accepted at shows. I plan on playing some movies on it through my head unit like Bullitt and Gone in 60 seconds to add some entertainment value to the trunk. Lol

I think it looks rice as it sits... However they actually provide true down force unlike the gt/cs rear... I think painting the whole lower portion of the bumper textured black including the added defusers would not make it stand out as much... Would in theory give it a more OEM look... Trying to have my friend photoshop it real quick

But I would not run those side skirts... Maybe roush or something more sleek... That does not look like it belongs there... I don't even know who makes this kit... If it was fairly priced id get it

It's by Prior Designs. I saw this last year sometime....at that time they hadn't released pricing, or if it was even going to be produced. I wanted this for my '09....but never looked further into it.

That white car is nice. I agree on the side skirts though.

Added black FRPP valve covers to dress up the engine bay.

How difficult we're they to install? I'm thinking of getting thee as well.

They weren't difficult mechanical wise, just getting everything out of the way is the most difficult part. Taking my time it was 2 hrs + change. I have a red set for sale in the marketplace if you're interested.

I know I'm a little late to the game here but I love what you've done with your CDC Parnelli Jones Hood! That's a very clean and unique look.

The shaker should be next
