BTW, some of the key items that have been changed/modified during the recent fixes:
1) OEM style carbon fiber hood (with a portion of it painted)
2) Taitec S-TAI front bumber (with added mesh)
3) Repainted front side fenders, headlights, Vinny MH replica skirts, and DreamzSport wing
4) Application of 3M Clear Bra
A few observations:
1) The S-TAI front bumber is LOW!!! It comes down about an inch lower than my previous Wings West front spoiler. Also, the lower portion comes pretty much straight down from the bumper AND juts forward. (Most driveways don't look too promising.
)
2) There are some fit issues with the S-TAI piece. In particular, the edge that meets the front of the hood is a bit off. My body shop had to play with it considerably to get it to look half decent. Before these pics were taken, the driver's side right next to the headlight cover was grossly misaligned, about a quarter of an inch off.
3) Overall surface finish of the S-TAI piece was very good. My body shop did not experience any problems.
4) Mesh was not included. It really should have been. That opening is HUGE!!!
5) Initial impressions is that it is longer than the OEM nose piece. Without taking measurements yet, I can't verify that. But visually, it does look longer.
6) I applied a clear bra to the front end of the car. While it does bother me somewhat that I can see the seam and there is some minor surface reflection distortion, I like the idea that a considerable chunck of the front end is protected from minor pebble damage which I was experiencing with my previous front end.
