By far one of the cleanest conversions out .......... I saw your car driving leaving the last Liberty Bbq meet in staten island...MEAN!!!!

The best part is its polyurethane. Most of the best JDM body kits are fiberglass......

No good for me!!!!!!



Also thats a good point, we all take ideas from each other (via magazine, online, your team, etc) .........Big ups to those who inspire and not feel threaten by those who are on the come up.

maybe its just the photo as a better close up would tell but it looks like you closed off the airflow to the radiator/ac condenser and its now going to be struggling to supply all that air through just the grill slats which barely touches the radiator yet alone the ac condenser


NEVERMIND..... i see in the pic i quoted you did not close this off, your pic was so dark it looked like the bottom air dam was closed off to make a solid front bumper but in my quoted pic you can clearly see its still open

Yes, AEightySix from Liberty VIP just did an E-Class style of bumper on his Cinnabar-ish GS I believe.

That's because he spent all the money on the million dollar bumper so he only had money left over to buy the $30 Ebay grill!
