I'm not big on that green Or the front lights. The rest looks good. I really like that C5 vent thing you did on the fender and door. How did you do that?

****** love it! Paints a lil loud, but thats what sets it apart.

And the only thing that I hate about EVERY 4th gen T/A is the flip up headies.

Any plans for releasing a kit?

Wow, nice job on the lights. I figured you would have to cut the metal supports to move the lights back further to get more height. That way the beams would actually see the ground and the headlights won't stick out above the hood line. You did it up right, man.

Any current threads or pics about the lights?
Do you need to make some covers?
I have info on that if you need it.

Hey I see that your rear wheels aren't outside the fenders anymore. Did you end up getting your rearend narrowed? Go with a different offset?

And damn, that paint scheme changed! I think it's an improvement! Definitely sets off the lines on the hood better. Lookin' good bro.

I cannot believe someone found this thread again. Thanks for the compliments! The car has been progressing slowly I've been working on the interior for the last couple months. I finished and reinstalled the fiberglassed dash w/10.2" touch screen for a carputer, smoothed door panels, and finished up the carpeting and custom rear seat delete/sub woofer enclosure. I reworked the headlight mounts so the larger 90mm modules are offset forward about 2" and the holders are much stronger. I'll try and update the cardomain page in the next couple days. I've been waiting almost 5 MONTHS on a custom brake kit from Precision Brake Company (which I do not want to start my RANT about that here!) granted it is 15" brakes front and rear, I still don't see it taking 5 MONTHS! It will be sweet IF I finally get them though!

Obviously great craftsmanship and the car looks mean. The only thing that bothers me is the blue stripe between the grey and green. It looks like painter's tape that hasn't been ripped off yet. Like you're in process of painting and have to try and visualize what it's gonna' look like after the out of place blue is ripped away. If that were a black stripe between the green and grey I think it would look more planned out and meaner. Really cool body mods! Much cooler than some funny body kit.
