Valet Parker customizes front bumper

I called Heritage Customs to see about replacing my front bumper and they asked what color , told me they had a California Special front bumper in Tungsten sitting in the shop-Woo-Hoo!!! so decided to go ahead and do the Fang Ductail while it was in the shop I will post pics when done, I guess I made lemonade from lemons, and I do not need any grief about using valet parkers....these guys know me, and I could tell they felt really bad about it. I just hope no one loses their job over this.

The work is finally done...almost, having some paint matching issues that I hope to have resolved soon. But here are some finished pics of the CS front bumper and Cervini's Concept hood and Fang Rear Spoiler

Not to thread hijack but what is the benefit of the colored driving lights?

The fit and finish are great, I did not get the air kit(not available when ordered) and kinda pricey... I will tell you the hood is heavier than stock, and I may add struts. The yellow fog light covers were just for looks, I wish they made them in amber to match the other lights, but the are also designed to protect the light from stone chips. Thanks for all the compliments and here are some under hood shots...check out the boss's sweet ride in pic....and I get to drive it !!!

dang that stinks... I'm a valet and I take good care of the cars I drive but I have been with companys with crazy employes!!! I mean like driving around corners in parking garages at 45mph crazy.... O by the way most valet policies are that the valet who wrecked it pays 50-70% of the damage! so he prob didn't loose his job just most of his wallet!

I think your vert looks great with the new hood & spoiler. I don't really like the yellow fog covers. IMO, the covers would look much nicer on your car if they had a smoke tint.

I got mine here: rickman@showlenses.com

They have different colors. I got yellow, amber and blue for shows. I liked the amber best, contrasted with the blue and matched the turn signals.
They are jells that just pop in behind the fog light frame.
