Everyone is certainly correct about CL - I never even knew about mods until I joined the club. I already have a stack of things I haven't installed yet and a list of more mods I want to try. And then there's you and the other masters with so many great ideas and creations.

This is a great club.
In my opinion if you can source out parts used that is the way to go. Well unless you have money falling from the sky .. I sourced out a bumper that was not damaged in the areas that I needed to utilize so it was fine for me. The new GS front is more aggressive and with more sharper lines then our bubbly SC. It could work but you would need to match the rest of the car with similar lines as well. Try a Photoshop and let your imagination run wild.

Not much done since the last update. I just took a trip up to the body shop to go over any loose ends. Still getting parts in so it will be some time.

Just picked these up. Not 100% sure these will bolt right up but I will make them fit somehow. lol

Nice, you will have no problem fitting them I'm sure.

I was really hoping on this month but the car is not worked on everyday so that is why its taking some time. Also it gives me time to think about other things and possible add to the build while its there.
