I'd say just bring what you got...it only gets better with time.

I still am deciding what lip / or lip kit to run, so I doubt I will have it ready by next month

Stopped by the shop today to see that all the fenders are pretty much done and that they are starting to de-panel. I snapped some pics of it lowered to park height and dumped just for the hell of it.

That is some nice fender work. Was it expensive to do?

Thanks, Not sure what the fenders cost... I'm getting them done with full paint and bodykit modifications.

Got some pictures from the body shop tonight. They continued to de-panel and they test fitted the body kit. The rear bumper is still going to go through some changes before paint. This is not my first authentic body kit, but once again, the fitment is spot on. Buy original and support the true enthusiast/designers, it does pay off! Stop the Copy!

YUP!! Wheels not covered for picture purposes only. Window down only during the picture... I did that... I guess it's just a habit to make sure the door doesn't lock, even though I know it won't.

Are there holes under the emblems? Is that why you're repainting the trunk?

There are holes under the emblems. Not shaving them but they are respraying the whole car. I had some minor blemishes on the trunk from the previous owner. It was all scratched for the xm radio magnet.
