Yeah, call me old school, but I am just past the "slammed" car thing. Not that my car was ever slammed. I just want a more practical stance. Doesn't need to sit on the floor to look good. Even Ferrari come wit ha huge fender gap haha.

Passenger side splash shield cut and installed. Most of it was cut off to accommodate intercooler connections and of course new bumper cover. Fits good and also made the edge of the new bumper cover a lot more rigid.

Back on the ground and ready for paint. APT bumper fit great. I also think the bumper looks great with just the factory body kit. I'll be staying that way. Gratuitous engine shot thrown in just because I spend so much time keeping the bastard clean !!!

Factory bumper went in the trash can. It was cracked in so many places I lost count. I have a new factory bumper in the box but I will hold on to that one in case I do something different in the future. My son has a 99 SC400 so my parts end up on his car a lot. I need new head lights really bad. Didn't know they looked so bad in pics.

Looks great. My headlights are in the same condition, but new ones are so $$$$. I can't stand to spend that much on a set of head lights. Does anyone restore them?
