Not as bad as yours though

The better question would be where weren't there problems with fitment. Vent lengths had to be trimmed, areas around headlights, all the edges have been re done by hand. Same thing for the fenders, every edge on those pieces has been reshaped by hand and reinforced for added strength. These parts are now so much better than the original pieces!

Thank you guys! Things have definitely turned around for the better and I'm on the homestretch now :tup:

It has been brought to my attention that I have made an unfair comment about CarbonSignal. I want everyone to know that I made that comment out of anger and frustration with the build. I was so furious with the issues I had been having that I let it get the best of me and I'm not one to go and bash anyone. Naj at CS has been in contact with me for 11 weeks now since I first got the bumper. He has been nothing but friendly and helpful to me. It's great to see a vendor here that is genuinely concered with an issue and wants to resolve it. Naj has been a great help to me. I also would like to add that the Type N spoiler that I received from Naj was amazing. Very good quality and zero fitment issues! I would most definitely recommend CS to everyone and I would compare their customer service to Fast Intentions!

I agree. Lead times may be a bit long but they do tell you about it.
Great customer service and great products.

I just went through this entire thread.....great build man. Car looks great!

Let me know if you decide to go LTH in the future, I can set you up with a great deal!

Glokwork 06-21-2012 05:01 PM

Thanks buddy I appreciate that! What did you have in mind?

Glokwork 06-26-2012 07:03 PM

Just talked with the shop owner and she finally got some paint today! Unfortunately theres hardly any chance I will have her back for a huge cruise night event on Friday. There's a show Sat that I'm entered in and I hopefully I can at least make it to that.

tonybui 06-30-2012 12:58 AM

Need some better pics and better picture skills please hahaha

SPOHN 06-30-2012 08:38 AM

The car is totally bad a$$. Are you planning on a brake upgrade?

Jasonle 06-30-2012 09:07 AM

Wow!

Glokwork 06-30-2012 12:01 PM

Say what? I thought instragam instantly makes anyone a pro photog!! Definitely will have some pro shots done soon. I'm at a show today. A terrible derecho which is an insane sustained wind storm happened last night at the cruise in and many cars were destroyed and people were hurt. Thankfully my friends and I made it out ok. It was definitely the craziest thing I've ever experienced. 20,000 people in a mad panic with debris flying everywhere should be some video up on youtube I'm sure. Yes, I'm definitely planning on getting a BBK those base brakes are an eyesore now!
