Default Back from the body shop
I just got my car back from the body shop today. A branch busted up my WS9 Outlaw ram air hood pretty bad a while ago. I ended up getting the regular WS9 hood, it still has the firehawk heat extractors, but the cowl isnt huge like the Outlaw was. I think it looks 100 times better, this regular WS9 flows so much better with the car. I also got the lower valance on my back bumper painted 'CETA' style, except in gloss black instead of flat black so it matches the taillights and center peice. Finally, the entire front bumper was painted, so no more rock chips or scratches whatsoever for the time being. Hopefully itll stay that way for a while!

Its too bad she has to go into hibernation for the next 3 months...

Hey, thanks for all the feedback. It felt great having her back, I had a nice 30 minute drive to the storage facility, but then had to say buh-bye to her again. I love the regular WS9 so much more than the Outlaw and I couldnt be happier with my wheel decision, I kept going back and forth for weeks. Hopefully we'll have a short winter this year!

Looks sweet. Nice and clean, we have similar tastes.

I really am getting sick of this weather, Ive been here for 25 years. Im in S.W. Michigan and we get tons of lake affect snow. On top of that I had back surgery 6 months ago so I cant even go skiing.

Insurance covered everything except the back bumper so Im not quite sure.

Theyre stainless steel Magnaflow replicas, although they do look similar to gmmg tips. I got them for around $55 shipped.
