Default Want to see some Auto Couture pics?

Here are some pics of my ride. Please enjoy and post comments.
















The Auto Couture urethane aero kit consists of:
-Front Grill
-Front Lip Spoiler
-Front Bumper Insert
-Side Skirts
-Rear Skirt
-Roof Spoiler

This is the only "complete" Auto Couture aero kit I know of in the States. I think I've seen other vehicles with partial components but nobody with everything all at once especially the front bumper insert. I could be wrong though...

The wheels are Auto Couture Supreme BR's
-20x9 front +36 offset 245/35/20
-20x10 rear +43 offset 275/30/20

I had to do some serious fender mods to fit these suckers under the wheel well and sit this low. I could probably take it down a bit lower but then I wouldn't be able to turn, or go up driveways, or carry 4 people in my car, etc... LOL

Only other mods include HKS Hipermax LS coil overs which ride super plush oh my 20's (VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! ), HID fogs, L-Tuned exhaust, and upgraded JL 12" free air in the deck with Fosgate amp which complements my Mark Levinson very well.

Thanks for looking!

that's a very clean lookin' kit...not too crazy lookin' in my opinion. The lines flow nicely with the car.

Look tight. I like it. But why do you have 4 license plate holes? You should have the body shop fill them in.

Car looks smooth! Silver is a good color for A/C. There is another member named Gunner Mac that has the complete version (i think thats what they call it) that replaces the front bumper, etc.

Is it me, or does that bumper insert leave a small gap at the top between itself and the bumper?

Nice car overall, like the wheels too.

Actually I bought the kit and wheels of Charlie when he got rid of his car. Charlie's moved up to Benzo status now...

Actually the insert wasn't mounted correctly, I had it fixed and it fits much better with no gap.

Thanks,

I actually took my friends complete bumper and it already had the holes drilled. I forgot to tell the bodyshop to fill them in when painting. Oh well....

Very very classy.. the kit matches the wheels perfectly..
I'm not a big fan of Autocouture wheels, but looking at yours with that kit.. somehow looks nice
