You know I love the look also, as I have the exact same setup. Is the Roush rear wing unpainted in this pic or is it the matte black one?

I have been toying with the idea of either replacing my painted windveil blue roush wing with a prepainted matte black wing that is on eBay right now or just vinyl wrap the wing in a matte black. I can pick up the painted wing for $230

And I think you're crazy for not liking it , isn't that the nice thing about opinions ...

I'm not a fan of the roush wing, but I love the bumper.

Well, spoilers are a matter of personal taste of course.

I personally like the Roush wing, and selected this particular bumper style due to the way I felt it would be in harmony with the existing wing (the way the molding over the exhaust/diffuser area turns down at the ends echoes the turn down of the Roush spoiler ends).

Its gonna look awesome. Ive had this bumper, mufflers, center panel and chrome tips sitting in the garage for awhile now. I see you went with the gray tips.

Im just waiting for the ok from the Mrs to put it on.....as its her car its slated for.
She has the Roush wing as well....so its neat to finally see how its going to look....

In a word....AWESOME!

Cant wait to see the snaps when its painted.

Love the dual tips on both sides - it looks badass. Never thought someone would do this.

Nah, can only drive one at a time, and I have a company car in the yard too.

I can see where the sig might have been confusing though

I went to visit it at the shop on Friday.

They had three guys working on it. Bumpers, and new hood were ready for paint, they had filled and perfected the rear quarters (mine came with a few factory ripples and had picked up a couple tiny dings). They were scuffing the front fenders as well (they want to respray those to get a perfect match with the hood)

They're expecting to spray color on Mon/Tues

I just need to finalize what I'm going with the rear spoiler (decided I'm going to swap out the Roush piece, there was some damage starting to the quarters under the end caps, and since work was going to be required there, I decided to have the bolt holes filled and go with something new to freshen things up a bit)
