MintBlue Front End on MP3

[Volley2six]

Here's the pic I've been bugged about ever since I got the MintBlue front spoiler. Thanks to Rishie and Vince (initial33) for all their help, along with Kyle (KaptainKyle) for hooking me up with the painting and installation. Doug - if you ask for any more pictures, I'm gonna kill you. This was taken in haste as I was running into work.

EDIT: For some reason I can't get this stupid pic to show up, so I attached it.

dont hurt me, but how bout an angled view showing the side skirts and front, i wanna see the height differences w/ the stock skirts and bumper, compared to the front bumper.

Looks good ... molded to the stock bumper?

Pe@ce

 

[Volley2six]

I'll get more pics with better angles when I have the time. I have to do some touch up work from my "growing pains" (Bottoming Out), and then I can get some good pics. It's molded right on top of the OEM bumper. It sits just a tad lower than the side skirts, but not as much as I imagined.

Looks good, nice and clean!

damn thats nice. whered you get the kit from? is it hard to install?

 

[Volley2six]

I ordered it from Rishie (ARD MP5) on this board (via conversations with Initial33). The process took a while between waiting for the part to come in and then to get it shipped. I brought it to a shop to get it fitted, painted, and installed. Took a little over a week, but I was in Florida for most of the week. Cost of the front end was $375, shipping was like $130, and the rest was $350. A little more pricey than expected, but I love it. The only problems are that I've bottomed out like 4 times now and it's taking a toll. Also, I'm getting rock chips (as you can see in the pic). I keep touching them up but more and more keep coming up.

man i know whut you mean bout the rock chips..it seems like i take the worst route to and from work but its the only way there..i drive bout 35 miles each way and damn..my car is needing toms touching up bad, i just have to get the time to put it on the car when its still daylight. i think once i get all my new pieces on the front end(dg urethane lip and f/g grille) i think i will drive slower and maybe go some alternate routes i think. just a thought cause id like them to stay purdy as much as i can

[SpicyMchaggis]

that whole week was bad news..i get pulled over taking us to the shop..then you run into a that curb thing the day or two after...still..it came out great..

 

[Volley2six]

That was a rough day, but it all ended well and I still love it. I appreciate all you did. I'll definitely owe you a drink over RIU weekend. I should have my new rims by then too, so you can check those out. All this stuff should add about 40HP, right?!?!?!?!

3M it maybe? Might help w/ the rock chips. Of course here in canada, we need 5 layers of that stuff since the rocks they put on in the winter are 5 times larger than anywhere else in the world. they're considered boulders in the automotive world LOL

What's the 3M stuff???

they call it "clear bra" it's clear thin material that is stuck to your painted nose adn can protect the paint from rocks and the like. some of the stuff yellows over time....
