Your car looks just amazing Red!!!

I noticed you did not comment on another members question about upgrading your wheels. What's wrong with 18's I say?

I have contemplated getting that same front bumper and the L-sportline bumper for the rear as I am tired of my TTE front bumper lip. Seeing that front bumper on your car makes the decision easy for me.

One day I will! Right now funds are scarce because of the new house..........

Thumbs up TOMS Kit

Very nice!!!! Your right about the exhaust. When I first saw the back, I thought there were no cut outs for them. Who did the paint? Did you install the kit yourself?

Thanks, Hameed. I'll have to send you some pics for the l-tunedparts site.

As for my 18's, I love my 18's!!! Strong, light, nice looking [one of the first gunmetal] and they did not break the bank when I bought them. And they clear a BBK all around.

Local guy that just moved into his own shop. I don't have the info at hand but I'll get it. He's now located in San Jose. He test fit and made minor adjustments to the kit, swapped out the grill materials, significantly improved the fit of my existing RMM grill, reshot the hood and mirrors, fixed a few door dings in the fenders and blended the fenders and of course shot the kit including the nice two tone.

All the hard work and all the little details made a difference and it shows in the way the car came out. A good body man like that is hard to come by. Props to the guy that took care of your pride and joy.
