So how do you feel about it after you got it on, and if you don’t mind me asking, what was the total cost?
I’ve been on the fence about this fir a long time. I love the front lip, and the rear spats, but the side pieces have always seemed a bit too much for me. I’d prefer a more understated look. I’ve wondered if painting the upper portion of them body color would help.
Anyway, would love to know your thoughts how they look in person on your car. Beautiful example by the way!

I think it’s that rear kick up of the side pieces I’m not crazy about. Like maybe instead of being squared off it should have continued on the angle to follow the body line out?

Leveled up.

Placing an order for tires, LCAs, and toe arms tomorrow.

Probably $850. I initially wanted the side skirts because I thought the car looked cheap with the orange peel texture below the door jam. I then though they would look funny without accompanying pieces and reasoned that the combination of each is how they actually work so I was able to excuse the price.

I like it, wish there 20 ts came with this shit like the 18 did.

Thanks for your perspective. Gorgeous car! Hope you have a healthy, safe and great holiday season!

I loved it in the showroom, it looked so black. But now, two years later it's more of a charcoal grey. It doesn't even match the colour of the rear lower filler/exhaust surround. Even more maddening is that my car lives in the garage, (only 14,000 kilometers) so I can't blame it on the sun fading it.

dpfarr · 11-23-2020, 11:10 AM

Thankfully it will always look black contrasted on white.

Willpower · 11-23-2020, 06:09 PM

Have you tried any of the products for black plastic trim on it like Black Magic or one of the others? That should darken it right back up. You’ll need to reapply periodically though. Agreed that it seems like that should not happen to that degree with the car garaged. Still beautiful car though!

Yes! Mine probably isn't any different than any other it's just that against the Black Pearl it is so noticeable.

No, not yet. I'll drop a hint to Santa that I need something like that...

dpfarr · 11-24-2020, 12:28 PM

I’d deal with the grayscale for that Black Pearl.
