Oh, about the front. Yes, definitely worth it, even the ppl I know that don't know ***** about cars noticed a difference for the better, and to me that's the best test of whether a mod was worth it or will be well-received, I ask a few ppl that refer to a car as 'that red one,' if they say it's improved, even if they don't know what I did, then I did my job. The conversion was easy, a little bit of wiring to do for the fogs, but all else bolted on, just had to spend some time making sure the hi-beams were flush with the bumper cover, no one seems to spend enough time making sure it's perfect, we took the bumper cover on and off FOUR times until it was done to my satisfaction. Let me know if you need any details, I worked closely with the knuckleheads at the bodyshop to get it done right, so I can tell you what's involved specifically. If I keep this SC, i'll be doing a combination AC kit and 2K conversion, (and a set of Bronze Volks) along with a couple of nice tricks that'll set it apart, but I may be trading it in for an SC3 at some point, if so then that'll be the one I do all the major work to. Lemme look for some pics to show you brother.

Damn...I want a newer front bumper too! Too bad I don't have the money for it right now.

Anyways, on the rims, just let me know by email or something. mr_h_liang@hotmail.com and I'll give you his contact info. I think he can only do Volks though, but you can ask him yourself.

Man, those GT-C's are nice. I was having serious doubts about my decisions on the GTN's after the GTC's came out...I still do too!

Oh yeah, SE37's from Volk is another nice mesh wheel...

I'm sold! The old front looks hella whack compared to the new. (Yes, i'm saying mine is whack) I'm going to fork out the $720 at SC400.COM

Thanks for all the help folks.....B
