Default A Proper Shoot

I rushed the shots to beat the rain but at these are a proper shoot with a decent background instead of the ones from yesterday in the street with a dirty car.
It's day 2 and I'm still not sure how much I like the kit. I am liking the sides and rear more but the front I'm not sold on. It might be too oem-ish. If it doesn't grow on me after I get it fixed I may change it out for the Prussian.

Looks good. I am liking the rear of our cars more with out the lower part of the bumper painted black. This kit gives a nice touch to the car with the body lines.

Looks a bit cold in FL

Reggie,

I think is looks good
IMO one of the few kits that follows the existing lines of the car and flows well. I mean the only other option is full bumper replacements but for me that is way out of my budget. I hope to have my kit on by the end of the month (can't wait), just hope it turns out as good as yours.

Thanks for posting more pics!


Mike,
I agree that stock bumper would look better with the bottom black portion the same color as car color. If i hadn't got this kit that was my other option.

Looks good Reggie. The kit really makes the car overall look good, you don't need to lower it... BUT you know me!!! The lower you go the better!

There is absolutely no chance I will go lower. Even if I get coils I would keep the car at this height.
Thanks for the props.

Maybe.....but I kinda like the quiet ride. I love the sound the stock exhaust of my old SC made. If I could duplicate that, I'd be interested.

I'm sure you could recreate that sound by removing the resonators or installing a x-pipe while keeping the same exhaust..

I think the car is looking good. Paint matches really well. But I have to agree Im not sold on the front lip yet.
