Default New Mods for 09

Well after sitting on a shelf for a year, I've finally modded my Wald grill for USDM front bumper. Oddly enough when I mocked it up on my Sportcross front bumper it fit perfect. But it doesn't fit at all on the standard bumper. I thought the Sportcross font only have a different lower grill and fogs but apparently the whole thing is different. Any who.










Picked it up front the paint shop today, and here on the results.

All finished and fitted.









I'll try to take better daytime pics later.

I also picked up a JDM rear and Authentic Wald rear lip from my JDM parts importer. The only damage was a crack in the bottom center of the the lip. It's def repairable and for money it was a great deal.

And just cause it was time to do it again, I repainted, rebadged, and recleared the calipers.

And though it's not my thing, I even decaled the car.



and got these.



All of this was done for a photo shoot for RIX Magazine that I did last week. The issue won't come out for about 3 months though. The pics are hot as s***, but I'm not allowed to share them yet.

Can't wait for the BBQ. Now if I could stop my damned halo inverters from blowing out I'd be all set. F***ing AAC
