As it would turn out it's a freakin' fiberglass pooper with a vacumed chromed thin ring of plastic around it. You have to paint it yourself and HAND PAINT the stripes in.
For $640.00? This overseas company just made a killing with this sale and others.. Good luck with it.

For the record I didn't pay $640 for it I got it from a trade so no big deal. I just think its funny what you see on the web and what you get in person.

Day pics!!

Also for those asking about the DRL's they are these ones, they are 194 wedge bulbs.




I tried the 4 clusters, the single LED, the inverted LED, and none of them worked as well as the 5 cluster. They are cool white not warm white, warm white doesn't even look like an LED. I'm converting inner head lights so they DRL will be deleted or else I would try some other colors. Since they shoot out from 5 points it lights the headlights very well

How much is the JP grille? You should sell that and get one.

Beautiful car though!
could of buy it D2 for $200 more, and get the really nice one...and it metal..
