Here's a couple half-*** pics...car is still a PITA to move around without a tune. Shadows, lighting, (better camera., lol) etc have played havoc in getting "good" pics. If my schedule permits, it should be hittin the rollers in a couple weeks and will try for better ones....

*edit* pics clipped cuz they really sucked

I did Mike....wish I could get some better pics. Really changes the front end. Still on the fence with it. With the bumper support gone, the nostrils that were there just showed off radiator, a/c condenser, etc.....figured I'd close it off.

Sent her back to the shop the other day and had a little better light for a couple pics of the anti-cat fascia. Still not completely sure about the nostrils filled in yet....may go back to stock or possibly black billet.

Bilstein make-over! Yellow and blue were not going cut it!! Hard to tell in these pics but I used a light silver metallic to match the V caipers. Didn't come out to bad...




V-brakes are beautiful to begin with. Problem is, this is not a V. Soooooo.....

1. Remove "V" decal
2. Replace with Carbon Fiber film "Brembo"


How did you get that V off? It seems to be cleared over?
