They may be for sale soon. We'll see at the end of April.

@oneup: Lol, well my car is dirty too! You just can't tell because it's such a bad picture. XD

@Tofu: Wow, that is a very shiny car. =D I'm curious what post-processing went into that image?
It's interesting because all of the pre-drilled holes for the grill matched up to the stock ones, it's just the top edge of what we can see that isn't flush. I don't mind because I can see more of the CF ^^
There appears to be a silver edge between the Ravspec diffuser and the original line on the bumper (rear valance line?), whereas the ViS one I have on is flush against that line on all but one side. At least with the Ravspec it looks even on all sides.

@konxeptionz: Thanks so much for the detailed tips. =D I'm not sure I want my diffuser to be that permanent. I do have screws holding the diffuser to the bumper already, but I'll probably have to reinstall the whole part to get the fitment right.

And having a picture ***** is a good thing in this case ^^ Very nice!

yes the Ravspec one- which is the one I have has a light line probably only about 1-2mm's from diffuser and rear bumper area. I usually don't' edit my photos too much since I use a lot of filters on my lenses but when I do I just use Lightroom 3 and I just touch up the contrast lightly but not too much. My car is usually pretty clean when I take pictures of it, I don't like to take pictures of dirty cars!

But anyways,

The Ravspec fits pretty well I'd say 99.9%.

Congratulations on the G!
You could also do carbon fiber overlay on a few places inside.
There's a couple of DIY's around here on it.

Thank you Grace ^^ My roof overlay is being shipped as we speak but I haven't really looked into any interior overlays. I like my interior =D

@Tofu: Haha I see; my point and shoot just isn't going to compare ^^ I only asked because there seems to be a halo around objects like the background had been burned in. Either way I like the picture.

My laptop's hard drive crashed last weekend (noo.. all my data) so I'm without Photoshop atm. MS Paint is so sophisticated now XD

New pictures! Clean and demolded.

Yeah I edited that picture a lot on purpose :P
I know if I ever repaint my coupe it will be in IP, such a clean car. Keep up the good work.

Thank you guys! ^^ The wonders of GooGone, elbow grease and claybar.

@Silencer_0: Wheels are so expensive! >.< Also, I'm not sure how it will look with the stock suspension.

True... Drop first, then wheels. Maybe pick up some used OEM 19s? They're relatively cheap, and look great (with spacers).

Wheels are confusing XD. Best thing about OEM is, I know they'll fit.
