Looks good. Looking forward to more pictures.

How well did the paint match on the grill?

your car looks real good and good luck to you at the shows. It looks like orange on the first pic and looks good on it too.

Nice job with the grille. Have you attempted to relocate the horns? I've tried but couldn't find anywhere to relocate.. I'm also wondering.. is the grille custom or the blitz?

How much and what brand on those rims....?


Nice subs too.........Are they the DVC's or singles? I run a pair of the DVC's off a BD1000 at 2 ohms in my truck and they hit hella hard.

Thanks... grill is custom, but there is no paint formula yet, so I had to buy a can of spray paint from PepBoys that came close. I'll have it painted later when the formula is available, plus put some CF on the inside frame....sorta like the Blitz. Yes, the wheels are Kreuzer 5's and the subs are DVC's. The car is dropped on Road Magnet springs and the wheels will be replaced soon. Now I'm just waiting on all the E114 stuff and I'm done.....
