Great job, I think it looks fantastic! Did the rear spoiler cover / utilize the factory wing holes?

Thanks. The 4" ducktail is a Cervini unit and the center section can be bolted to the trunk lid but I had all the pieces just attached with double sided tape. The two side pieces could have been screwed on but then I would have holes in the quarter panels. The double-sided tape, if installed correctly, will hold the pieces on.

Very tastefully done. I have doubts about the red cobra (maybe just a touch "much"), but otherwise right on the money. The tall cowl hood looks grand - but does it obstruct your vision? And is it functional? And be careful around abrupt transitions (steep drives that change angles) and park short (my clearance is similar to yours).

Good choices - what further plans for the car do you have?

Looks good. My setup in the rear is almost the same with the cervini wing and cdc blackout panel. I too put my cervini wing on using just double sided 3M tape and haven't had a single problem with it. But it wasn't by choice, the cervini wing from mrbodykit.com doesn't come with any holes that's why it's only $200 I guess. Nonetheless, it's held up fine with just the tape. Again, looks good.

I think it looks really good. The aggressiveness is tastefully done (maybe too much with the snakes) but otherwise it's really good. It all seems to fit together. Great job.

Thanks for the positive feed back. I really thought a long time about the cobra emblems before putting them on there, changed my mind about 20 times, but ultimately decided I had to have'em. Next spring, or maybe this winter if funds are available, a s/c is going on it along with various suspension pieces it needs now badly.

The hood is not a problem. Of course it does block my view somewhat but I am tall anyway and of course the seat is adjustable too. With the low hanging body parts to go along with the hood I am just alot more careful when driving it. As far as from the performance viewpoint the hood is not functional however it does have vents built into the rear that allow hot engine air to escape from the engine compartment. The Cervini pieces are excellant parts. The Demon parts are good quality but gave the body man hell trying to fit them and the same goes for the Extreme Dimension front bumper. Parts of the front bumper structure under the cover had to be modified to get the new cover to fit.

Cervini parts fit well - its one of the first tier companies (CDC, Saleen, Roush, 3D Carbon) that are known for their fit and quality. If you managed to get the Demon parts to look that good, you did, indeed, have a good body man! Is the front bumper cover urethane or fiberglass? If fiberglass, you MUST be extra careful!

With that extra space under the cowl, you can think about a twin screw Kenne Bell blower (or Whipple or FRPP or Magnacharger) with no clearance issues. of course.

Yea, the front end is urethane, all the parts are except for the hood. I am not sure which S/C I am going to go with. I am leaning toward the Kenne Bell however.

I'm also not a fan of the fake badging BUT this kit has VERY nice lines and I love the look. The look is very balanced and you did a great job.
