Good job Finally someone shaved the front facia properly... every other attempt posted on here has looked like ****. You cold always see thwere the pate had been and they didn't follow the lines in the facia, but your body guy did!

BTW... any issues with ditching the reflector lights in the 1/4 panels? I'm repainting mine this winter and wanted to shave those... but I'm worried about inspections.

Any advice there?

Wayne, get a TigerShark nose and sell your off stock one.

No license plate frame and better cooling. I picked up mine off of Lingenfelter a couple of months back.

I just got my MCM hood on the other day, man it looks good.

Tony, Lori is ready to kill me now with how much I have purchased for it in the past month, DNX 7100, Console mod, XM Radio, bluetooth, New speakers, Sub box and sub, amp, Group 5 rear, MCM hood, and still waiting on getting the ACI sides and brake ducts. Then I have to get them installed and paint the car.....

Right now I'll stick with stock front. TS front does not have a Vararam intake duct which I am running.

I didn't think I was going to like it when I heard the term "two-tone" then I saw the pics...and WOW. That thing is AWESOME!!! I especially like the front end with the filled in license plate, very cool.

Congrats on an great job and choosing an EXCELLENT painter, he really knows his stuff

I like the two tone paint! It's surely different than anyone else's generic painted car.
I do think it would really stand out with polished or chromed wheels, instead of the black wheels, though.

Very Tastefully done! It turned out GREAT, and I agree that the photographer took some Really Nice pictures! I like how he did the lighting!

By the way, your Turbo kit looks like it turned out just as nicely!

Thanks for sharing the build and the pictures! Please Drive that BEAST Safely!
