I'll try to reply back to everyone this way. No it doesn't come painted I'll probably end up painting the kit myself like I did to my interior. I also taught its as easy as bolt on kit, no you have to drill holes and line it up yourself. Plus I heard two other people had a hard time fitting the back bumper and had to literally cut it in half and mold it in to the factory bumper.
I got a quote from one shop for install and paint. And I couldn't believe how much he was asking for. So thats why I guess I'll end up painting it with spray paint. That's why I was asking if anyone can help me install it, who has experience with body kits.

first 2 runs i was trying to change a few things, both not sucessful lol,got 4 runs in, 3 before rain....I got a 14.3 @102mph( shitty launch and spun bad) was hoping to improve but then it rained, had a good launch on the last run but missed 3rd and track was cold. I called it a night. Im getting knock on top end and think my led went out on methanol so to play it safe didnt want to keep running in case the pump did quit, will confirm that in am

congrats on the sale!
Hmm, I don't have to go to first service tomorrow.. maybe I'll show up too.
so Tejay posted about last night - is no one else? ~ did newf run his car?
I'm pretty sure that was supposed to be today... lemme check
nope, you're right - LINK
the rear brake problem can be solved by removing the rear wheels, pulling off the calipers, and lubing the sliders - 99% of the time they leave the factory without any lubrication, so they stick ~ this is the cause of the rear brakes.
Odds are if you bring your car in for a lube job, and mention the rear brakes they could look at it, and (hopefully) lube it for n/c.
are yours making alot of noise atm?
Hmm, maybe I should go tonight
anyone else planning on going ~ or would it just be Kasper, CalgaryBalt, and myself?
