Wow...excellent work. Although at this point, I'd expect nothing less from you. BUT for you to say it's great...means it far surpasses perfect.

No joke jemery, you know me pretty well! You know I only settle at great and will redo until it is great, but this one came out really nice! I am a diehard match the factory orange peel type of guy and I really nailed it. Nothing stupider then a bumper wetsanded flat between an OEM lip kit with factory peel and fender/hood with factory peel

thanks again! now if tomorrow was only not sunday!! I need parts!

It seems everything coming smooth Brian, any plans on the rear convertion? So are you selling your one of a kind grill.

Nexson

I really like the rear of the 2010, along with the diffuser plastic that runs along the inside of the rear spoiler. I planned on just changing the front. I am not 100% in love with the front, but I like it much more then the stock 09-11 and with the chance to make my car look newer, I will take the opportunity.

As for my old grille, its going in the attic, I just want to keep it.

Nexon i like your progress thread but you make us wait forever
Hurry up and finish this project! I feel like by the time you have everything done, i will be already retired jajajajajaa jk

Dude can't wait to see this done

Btw one of these days, i will ship my car there for you to work on it LOL

potmilkz

i think those boxes are for the front end.. lower fog grills, front add on lip, 3 piece front grill

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Q tips, huh...

Nexson

I got 7 more parts coming tomorrow including the front spoiler. I don't know what is in all the boxes as I haven't had a chance to open them up, but judging by the size of the boxes, looks like i have the mesh grille with the chrome bezel, shield, two lower trim bar grilles, and some odds and ends parts. I will get the rest tomorrow and see what I am missing, if anything!

Going to look awesome...

drzfinest0902

Hey nexson ...I have 09 TL awd and I'm planing to start ordering the parts i need ..can you listed all the parts you will be using for the conversion ? Thanks

Nexson

I will create a master list once I have it all completed so that everyone knows what parts to order.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Damn Brian, you can't stop can you?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

he can...he just refuses to.
he's as bad as me in his need to have a project car so my dang daily driver can rest a little.

drzfinest0902

Cool ...another question can the turning light signal above the fog light from the 09-11 awd be used on the new 2012 bumper ...it looks very similar

potmilkz

also if you can list price or a rough estimate.

Nexson

Pissed off about this, I thought they were the same but my 09-11 mdidn't fit and one singal lamp is $105 after discount, I wasn't to happy about that, plus the fog was another $40
I sure will!
