I believe this conversion is my best mode.I m in love with my car again.I really like it because I didn't change the car lines at all and there is no way someone that doesn't know it to see something strange to it.Everything is fanctionall as they were before even under the car.I would like to thank everyone that helped me with photos all this time.For those who didn't it's ok but I really don't understand the reason not to.It s difficult to start this by yourself but I m glad I did

Fogs weren't available for the 3IS for a while but quite a few ppl finally got them now. Any plans for a front lip?
