    For the bumper, I’d also been trolling YJA and FB groups for a while and got a bite when I posted in the Wanted section. Somehow I missed a Barchetta GT that had finally come up on YJA and enlisting Bo’s help we managed to win the bidding. This worked out perfectly as he was also arranging for my CMC exhaust to come over in his next container. It arrived a few days before the wheels showed up (sorry in advance for this chronological mishap)




    It was cracked but that didn’t raise a major concern for Seven Apple. I’d ordered some flares and the mounting kit from Carbon Miata and those and the GV headlight lid went off for paint prep.



    And test fit of the R lip…


    Before taking off the GV lid I did a test fit of the Sharks. No question that the flares were a necessity…







    The most miserable part of the process was the hours it took getting the vinyl stripes off. Didn’t help that using a hairdryer in your garage on a hot day just isn’t the best combination

    But we were finally ready to go in for our appointment with just six short days before JCCS.
