Here are some more pics. Now you can see the front end with some of my custom aluminum work. I made the grills and the front splitters as prototypes, I'm in the process of doing them in Carbon. What do you guys think?

I like the idea of having splitter made out of carbon fiber, but for the grilles, I think that the style you have there now is no longer popular, IMO it looks cheezy. But this is only my 2 cents.

Yeah, I guess I should've went to Home Depot and bought some Door screen material like everyone else. How can it be out of date went nobodies ever made them for this car. I guess you'ld have to see it in person. As for the gutterguards, Some people don't like them, but they're effective for keeping my brakes cool. They're actually designed to be "effective" and not for looks.Look at the Wings West ones and those are just for looks. People have their own opinions and I respect that.

Thanks for the compliments. I was thinking of layering carbon over the grills then countersinking the holes to bring out the polished al. underneath. Just an idea. BTW I noticed your front lip on your MP3 and was wondering how that thing is mounted? Looks pretty sweet! Is it carbon or urethane?

He's probably saying that because he drives a piece of **** or his is stock and has to drive on dirt roads everywhere. Oh well I don't bottumout or nothing like that, so it can't be too low! I guess I should take it 4-wheelin'!

How did you get your car so low? how many inches is it dropped? does it have coilovers?

Yeah man, I'm running Groundcontrol coilovers with Ingals camber bolts. They come with Eibach springs and it rides a little rougher than stock. If you run the coilovers all the way up, you get a really nice ride and the tires sit right below the fenders. I have mine turned down about half way in the front and 2 threads higher in the rear to make it look level. I had to push-out the tierods 1 thread to bring the toe-in as not to wear out my tires.

Excuse me there God but not only are you wrong your way out of line. If you have nothing nice to say you should say nothing at all. That's why you don't see me posting on your thread about your ride.

ssmp5 - Sweet Ride Bro. I got half inch expanded metal in the front grill and love it. I was even considering at the time going with one of the patterns like holes or slits. Gutter guard comes out nice but yours is just wicked. Totally original and not to mention the durability of the material. I'm not a big fan of the 16" stockers but must admit you do make them look good with the drop. Totally wicked bro!
