are the back bumper, hood, wing and sideskirts all flat black? Is that wing one piece, and going around the antenna? does that keep you from opening the trunk with the radio on?

The nismo springs and shocks are the ones that come together like coilovers but with out hight and dampener adjustability right? How you likeing them so far?

I also like it, needs to be painted too and could use different rims or more of a drop imo. Love the front.

The drop is fine, but you're right about the rims IMHO. I think I might get a similar bodykit, I've always admired those flares. But I'll get a GT wing.

Why oh why do people put body kits on thier cars before painting them?

I just want to understand why people are impatient about stuff like that.

because the car had some pretty ugly damage to the front and rear bumper and patching abs plastic is a pain in the ***. i like fiberglass a whole lot better. which is also why the stock hood is black. i had to hammer out the nose and then finish it off with bondo.

and i got a really good deal on the kit.
