if it doesnt, a few minutes with a razor and a steady hand will make it work. If there's any doubt - call or send Mark (6LE) an email and I'm sure he'll take care of you

I will take some pics for you when I get my exhaust in. Hopefully will be here by friday. Also you should be aware that it takes a while...well it did for me. It has been 40 days so far since I ordered and still no exhaust.

Yeah good point. What do you think a body shop charges to sand paint and everything?

there's lots of variables there - personally I'd have it blended/moulded in and have the entire rear bumper cover repainted. No experience but I'd guesstimate around $200 for a simple scuff and shoot, sky's the limit if you go all out and have it blended in...

Thanks! Will watch for pics. Wait time shouldn't be an issue. I won't be able to move the car till May anyway

Also like the idea of painting the bumper. I was thinking I would like the splitter, sides, and rear valance all in carbon fibre, wonder if 6LE will offer that?

Im not sure if they will offer in carbon. I know they are thinking about doing the CME in carbon. Would you still want to paint it if you got it in carbon?

No paint if offered in carbon. Truthfully, I won't go carbon unless the front, sides, and rear are offered in carbon to match. And I won't go pushing for 6LE to do this unless there is a way they can profit from doing so. I think it would like ZR1ish to have the front, side, and rear splitters in carbon, add the carbon hoop and possibly the spoiler. Have to wait and see if there is a market for all that for 4th gen owners?

That's almost looks to good to put underneath a car, good choice on the tips if the quad tips were closer in size to the factory dual dual than it would be a different story.
