so the car is in the shop right now and the kit is being installed as below in the after picture. I saw it after they cut it and it looks so sweet, this si how it should have looked like from versus. it's also even with the side skirts too. If you look at some of the installed pics of the kit, the front is closerr to the ground than the sides which is ugly and obviously gonna scrape if your dropped at all. I get the car back on monday and will def post picturs...

By the way, the total for the cutting and the grille modification and painting of the kit with installation was close to $900 in NY.

 

sweet, that's a good looking cl.
Looking at the beofre and aftr pics, it seems like adding the lights and cross bar filled some of unused space nicely.

 

still looks weird..IMO..but get the other pics up maybe itll change my mind

 

So...you liked my idea afterall...



I think it'll look tits in person...

 

looks much better!

 

nice work!

 

damn that looks really nice

i may consider this kit if it turns out just like that!

sidemarker

 

Looks better, although i'm not a fan of any kit on the CL :o

 

I'm sure it will look like this, if not better in real life, my only concern was that the skirt would flap in the wind at high speed, but after they cut it and we mocked it on the car, it was very stout and fit perfectly. not too much play and that was without any mounting, imaginw when its done and has the tape and screws in the fender walls. I am so psyched, and I painted the splitters just in case this didn't work.

 

Rondog....

What's the offset on your wheels, front and back?
Also how did you make the grill and is the bottom bumper also customized?

 

cant wait to see it Rondy!! Next time we have a meet you have to make it and show it off!!

 

the fronts and backs are both 43mm offset. the grille is gonna be customized with the black mesh and the inner grille removed so the mesh doesn't rest on anything. The lower front skirt was just trimed from the bottom up.

CLASSY, we can hook up with a few more heads and have a mini meet at burger King like last time.

 

Oh man that's gonna be HOT. Can't wait to see the after pics!

 

The modifications makes that kit look hot! :thumbsup?

 

Nice rondog. Good to see that someone is doing something about that ugly front end.

 

dude, did you get my email? I was going to do your custom grille and needed your input. I get it on monday so it may not be too late. call me, I just PMed you my number...

 

nice job rondog! good luck w/this project



i was also planning to do this if i got a cl and a versus kit i.e. modify the front end


again good luck w/the wheel company and w/this project

 

what do yall think.

i ordered a full, carbon fiber splitter in replacement of the removed lip. i have already fitted one and it looks really hot. i had to order one because i needed one that would go from side to side.

 

I don't see the spliter in the pic. Am I supposed to?

 

no splitter yet, about 2 weeks i will have it on.

 

you got to post some pics of the splitters when you put it on

 

gimme an hour, i got the car and I'm shooting it now. By the way, It looks awsome...

 

comon , its only been like 4 minutes i cant wait any more!!!!!

 

here, it was cold, but Bigman kept me company. some are blurry cuz I didn't even sort them out, but you get the idea,,,
here's a sample, the link below has all the pics:

Click here for the page with all of the pics...

 

that looks really good.


the ps'd pics didn't do it justice. nice work.

 

....THAT LOOKS FUCKIN' AWESOME!!!

 

 

thanks guys, i still hve to adjust the HKS mufflers and redo the grille, It got a little bent but no biggie. The drop seems to have raised an inch in the back, I don't know why, but it used to be 2 fingers, and now its three, weird. and finally the door sills have a minor rub where the doors shur, but it's nothing big, the body shop said to let it wear out and they'll buff it and repaint it if need be. I alrready got mad compliments on the street and the car has a more muscular stance. i love it...

 

awesome looking looking front. looks MUCH cleaner

 

That looks awesome

 

Was the grille just taken off and painted silver to match?

 

just the outer grille, the mesh was scored and bent down the middle and the innergrille was cut out so nothing is pushing on the mesh...

 

came out great

 

LOOKS HOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

See Ross...we could've done that to yours buddy...

An older guy in Ohio bought a kit off ebay from me & did something similar to his...that's what gave me the idea. I should've kept a kit to modify now that I've seen Rondog's...

It came out just like the pic.

 

just something I whipped up: I can't wait to go to a mufflershop and adjust the pipes. gonna make em stick out just a hair and even them up...

 

you need 19's for the front. like you did in the chop.

 

nice ride

i'd drop it some more, tint the roadlamps, get some 03 headlights and clear um and your ride will be stunnin

 

that looks great

 

WOW!! THAT'S BEAUTIFUL!!
