Bomex Whale Tail on a stock MKIII?

I guess I'll just have to live with the preposterous price, then. Don't forget to post pics when you get your's on, though. I wanna see how it looks (Your car, specifically).

Should have pics this weekend.. going to deliver the parts and do a final discussion of what I want done on Saturday.

Going to try and get mine ordered before the end of the month.

Mine is on the car right now, My only real complaint (not really a complaint because I dont see a way to do it better without a LOT of modification) is the antenna hole is not what I would call ideal. If I had to do it over, I would do an antenna delete first and then get one without the hole (mine is Shine auto mind you, not Bomex)

Ending up having to put spacers under the front of the whale tale to keep it from hitting the quarters while driving.

This is mine so far (just the mockup, the car wont be finished until Mid-October now.. adding too many peices.. lol)
I just got the Kouki 89+ tail lights in from Japan.. 4 day shipping time.. woot! Now.. why does it take 2-3 weeks to get something from the U.S.???

Okay. No major problems, there... How're you liking those rear add-ons? I was thinking about getting some of those, too.

Definitely changes the body lines of the tires and frames them much better. I wouldn't recommend using rivets to put it on although others have done so. Will see what I think after they are completely installed, but my 17" rims look a little lost on the car now. I definitely will be going with 18" rims and lowering about 1/2 - 1"
