thanks for all the compliments guys..it looks much better in person..i cant get a good angle on my camera phone, and i cant get the wheels to look good on camera either. The fogs i dont really care about right now..budget..you know how it is. Mayb next month or so. For now im happy with the way it turned out..especially ghetto rigging the grill insert lol.

A few more just because..phone camera guys. I'll get better pictures later.

Before, This is before I tore up the bumper when i ran over a semi truck's tire in the middle of the highway. Cracked it right in half. The whole reason for this swap anyway.


After, You guys can see the fitment in this picture.. Like a gloveee


Man when you see the car in person..it looks really low. but in this picture looks like huge wheel gap..there really isnt! And its almost a 4in lip..but this picture make it looks small too. Its soo hard to capture everything in pictures. or im just a terrible photographer.


This is what the stance really is..dont mind the time stamp. never fixed it on the camera.

car is looking good! Congrats on the install, such a simple mod that makes a big difference. Thank you for finding out about that inner grill. looks like what i thought of wont work.

Get that grill fixed along with that tow hook cover fixed and some fogs and your all set!
