All I can say is "WOW". Your car looks soooo good. The body kit looks awesome. Hope you get some decent weather soon so you can enjoy your beautiful car.

Mike -

Dang I HATE you, man.....

Hadn't considered stripes - saw your car, fell in love with 'em.

Decided I was okay with no kits or body mods on my car... now I saw yours with the SS kit......

&*$@%$^%@^$%@%$% :bang:

You really stink, bro......

(But in a GOOD way!! Car looks AWESOME!)

More SIDE pics!!!!!!

To answer a few questions; The Louvers & the rear valance is by Street Scenes and in the front is the Steeda splitter. I am still debating about side skirts or not, but without them, the car does not look out of balance at all!!!

I had to both paint and use vinyl on the valance...I painted the 2 little fins that hang down and vinyl striped the rest.

amazingly, I can still see a little bit out of the louvers! Not much, but I will be able to see if there is a car beside me.

I had a body shop paint all the pieces Black and I did the striping.

Thanks for the nice comments!

For the (3) body pieces (Steeda splitter, louvers & valance) it was $700.00 without figuring in shipping. Shipping for the splitter was $85.00 from Steeda (oversized box) and I think shipping for the other 2 combined was around $50.00

I first had the splitter & louvers painted and that cost me $225.00 and the valance was $189.00 for paint. A little pricey I thought for paint, but they do an excellant job and the SS parts were a PAIN to get the paint to stick, they had to prep and shoot the louvers twice and the valance 3 times!! The stripes for the Splitter & valance, I did myself.

Well I placed an order for the street scenes kit and then cancelled it. Now I am wondering why I did that :scratch:
Mabey the thought of building on a new "wing" to your dog house?
