I don't think that's the same car, those pictures of that Range were posted on the 13th on the FB page.

Clutch stated here that the wrap didn't start until the 19th.

Yeah and some other bits are wrapped differently in black, but regardless, gives us a better sense of what it looks like with these better pics. Rims seem identical.

I can lower the car later but as of now I'm waiting for the tires to chew through the liners.

Also agree with the "tall and skinny" comment. I think you should get some mesh style wheels with a little lip and get kind of a Project Kahn kinda thing going
That is another car done similar, and those wheels are 22"s.


Overfinch kit in the future and new rims for sure with fatty tires like the white rover posted previously.

This rover will undergo many many changes and phases, and will definitely keep you all updated.


I appreciate the inputs.

And yes, my pictures are terrible in quality right now. Real camera shots planned in the near future.

I like it, once the headlights are done it would be even better. Rims are definitely cool but isn't for me, but, as I read, you eventually plan to change them so its all good. Something like the chromes on that black one along with a little drop. But no chrome, I just like the design lol.

Those rims are the OEM Range Rover Stormer Rims, just painted black. I believe they are 22 but I may be wrong. Clutch has a replica 24" version.

Correct.

The range is currently in for some touch ups on the wrap and then off to the body shop to finish up headlights, grills, and tail lights.

22" looks 100000000000000x better, IMO.

Update: Car gets returned with some newly painted goodies tomorrow or Friday. I promise much better pictures.

Here's a little peak of one of the goodies.

Custom painted tail lights.

I guess I will have to wait a little bit more for the completion. A little more tease of the custom painted pieces.

Phase 1 COMPLETE!


Phase 2: Custom alcantara/leather interior, new speakers and possibly a bodykit.


Lookout Dallas, this Rover is coming soon to you. X5M will return back to So-Cal.

I would say lose the stickers, but I understand they're for your business and you need to promote. I think the truck looks great. Nice work.

If u need to keep the stickers, get them in some sort of black color.
Also that cali plate is destroying a lot from the looks.

Other than that I like it a lot.

mob? no.
2005 rap video? yes.
Sorry, I was never personally a fan of the blacked out/matte look.

Glad your venture is working out because this is much better than the GS could have ever been modded. Respect for the work done.

L4P posted an Aventador on Facebook with the same emblem on it. It's for the body shop that did the work.



Range looks great

Many kudos for the work you put in, but actually not a fan. Without the signs it looks pretty old-school, and not a fan of your rims

Of course, its perfect if you're Rick Ross in real life

I agree, normally I run plateless, but since moving to BH I get cop trouble like no other.


Within a week of moving.

Is everything okay with the front bumper? The lower part looks kind of messed up.



Overall, I think I like it. I would never do it to my car, but it definitely looks good.

Thank you. Lower part (faded) black is a cheap plastic guard. Thinking of putting an overfinch style body kit on it soon.

Came out really good. Think a body kit would tie it all together and help with the stance. But so far so good
