I had to have the stiping continued all the way through the bumpers, couldnt stand a "sport stripe" that gets the short end of the stick to just stop at the bumpers when the JCW body kit looks so awesome. I have the feeling I am still missing something....hmm...any help?

Looks like you're missing the plastic piece underneath the front driver's side part of the kit.

If you use an external photo site, like photobucket.com , you can upload any size you want. Then you simply copy the code with the [IMG] in it and paste it into your post

well i always say de-chroming is always a worth-while mod

your would look really nice with blue racing stripes for the roof

maybe side graphics? (i may just be partial to a lot of vinyl haha)

+1 for roof stripes. Blue ones would be sweet! IMO, totally worth it even with the sunroof.

If you black out the front chrome (including the driving lights) and get a CF or black scoop it could look like this

Were they installed at the factory or did they do it after the car arrived? I saw the option for it was $85, did they charge labor to install it or is it included? Do you have a picture of the back?

Thanks

Stripes were installed at the dealer, and I forgot the exact amount for the labor. I believe it was around $25.
