Can't wait to see the pics, sounds sweet

ya, pics as soon as you can!

Hey Dm,
welcome back bro, what kit did you go with?

C-one style front bumper, Invader Side Skirts, Type Z Rear Lip.

Went to the bodyshop today side skirts are molded in and fenders rolled and flaired. All minor nicks and small dents removed, now he's onto the bumpers...

NEW UPDATE;

Well it's still in the shop 5 months now... had a few engineering problems, mainly how to support and stiffen the front bumper and also allowing room for the intercooler. We finally discussed it and figured it out we laid a 1/2 inch thick x 1 1/2" metal bar across the length of the old crash bar points and welded it, giving enough room for the intercooler and an area where he can weld brackets to support the front bumper from flexing while on the road.

All thats left now is paint. Door jams, trunk area have been painted (less the pearl). So hopefully this week ill have some pics.

Updated!

Looks nice! Why did you get your fenders rolled? What size wheel/combo are you running and with what suspension?

Right now the wheels are 17's, im upgrading to 19's.. on tien lowering springs. btw decided not to roll the fenders.

Im guessing those are kitana destinys? Same rims I used to have... very nice.

i was thinking about rolling my wheel wells too.....diff tires are easier to get though

looks really nice man, bet it looks even better in person with the pearl.
the offset on those wheels makes them look really small for some reason.
bet the new wheels will finish it off nicely.

nice pics! finally some good pics of how the c-one kit looks on a white car!
