Still looking around. Rotiform or Vossens can't make up my mind. I'm in love with the precision series from Vossen, not even sure if they are out yet or not o.o

Will keep everybody posted xP


Here's how my front bumper looks so far. Don't have time to finish up some other stuff cause in need of my car for the next couple weeks. So hopefully it will get back into the shop within next few weeks for sides and everything else done xP

Update PICS:
Probably going to change up the bumper a bit more when the car goes back into the shop xP haha. As of right now from what I can see the side add ons should match up stock side lines pretty well xP

bumper reminds me of a shark... VPS wheels may be out in a couple of months, sent a PM to Diego and he said there is no ETA but probably in a couple of months time.

Looks very interesting... Corners seems sharper and thinner than OEM bumper. Wonder how it'll do at 100 mph.

So far it's been doing fine lol it's just an add on lip bumpers pretty much fine. Gonna shave down the sides of the lip so it'll sit flush to the bumper on the side once I bring it back to the shop.

Screws and 3m is what we used

Here's an update on how it looks on the car right now. It's still not really done need to ask them to shave down the side of the lip and probably paint match it overall happy with how it is right now
Car will go back in witthin next two weeks for finalizing the lip and side skirts etc

Sup Calvin, love the build. How is the ride with the air runner setup? I am thinking on doing coilovers or air. Also how much was the air runner set up? Are running Lexon lip and side splitter? Love it!!!

Also great photography by Mr. Chow.
