thank you!!

i will update some more tonight. I have the cs lower and boss splitter installed. I just need to wash the car and take some good pictures. I think to keep things organized I might update the first post to just go over everything that needs to be done to make this work.

Sweet! That's gonna look freaking nice with the Boss splitter.
Can't wait to see. Keep the good work dude.

[shark tales]

ANd those headlights just aint working for me :/ sorry you need OEM halogens

I cant wait to see this finished, those fenders not ligning up just kills it for now.

there is no paint difference. my polished 08 paint with the new 12 stuff looks the same.

I know you dont like the headlights but I do and with HIDs I feel theyre a must. I hate the halo and leds so they are not connected.

yep I agree but Im weighing out different options at the moment

here are some pics of the outcome so far

trimmed rad cover. alot of things line up.

the bad news

next on the agenda is to smoke the fog and ambient lights

Looks great, is it just the pics or is the paint a little off? Hopefully you can find a way to make the Lines match up better!

thanks, the paint matches perfectly. what were seeing is different body panel shapes reflecting different angles. im going to work on the fenders there is no doubt about that

I think the paint looks off in the picture because the angle on the fender is different from the door, so it reflects differently (look at the A pillar, it blends with the front end more)

Shark I cant wait for you to finish this....hurry up and cut those fenders! lol
