The rear mesh was missing when I bought the car along with the jp covers.
I have an SVT grill, but its nice and shiney and the black grill looks way better with the whole combo.
I also have a set of minty fresh side skirts with jp covers. The only problem is that they are the wrong color.
 
My name is Kev and I have a problem. I collect car parts.

It comes flat and straight.. so you have to do a lot of bending to get it in place. It's urethane though so I didn't need to actually bolt it to the deck. It had double sided tape on the bottom and it's solid as a rock.

I DID have to paint it while it was on the car though, which wasn't fun. It had to flex a ton, so if I would've painted before hand the results would've have looked good after bending it.

lots more comin by the end of May

I did a double take when I saw your pics. I thought I was looking at my car for a second. I have the same setup in the rear. Tinted tails, blacked out chrome strip, and M3/M5 spoiler. :drool:

Hell yeah brother :cool:

I think I paid $30 for mine and $10 in paint. Can't pass that up.

They're bixenons and the solenoid isn't wired yet. And there's another feature that isn't wired yet either. But it'll be nuts :)

I really wanted shrouds and I wanted to do a 3" projector but I had a very hard time squeezing that 2.5" + shroud into the housing. Lots of modification was needed. It took a lot longer than I thought. If I went straight through and didn't count screwing around and thinking how to do something, i'd say around 18 hours of work. As a noobie to retrofits, I spent days and days thinking of how to solve the problems I came across along the way. It was probably one of my least fun projects I've had (everything you do is "final".. you can't mess up) but it was worth it when I went to install them in the car.
 
Damn car cancer strikes again :(

My current project is painting all the rotor hats and rusted parts of the rotor satin black.. and painting the calipers.

While I had everything off, I decided to pop off the sideskirt.

I pushed my finger and that whole part of the rocker crumbled off. I grinded down the bubbling and repainted it to get me by for a few months.

I think this is the summer I'll learn how to weld, sadly.

im still not sure what people think about these.. demon eyes.

I really hate angel eyes and wanted to do something different. You only run them when the car is off and it's past dusk. Wherever you park, your car stares at people. :mad:

Weird but considering it only costed me about $15 I figured I'd do it. They can be on for about 30 hours before you need to turn them off or drive the car to make sure it has enough current to start.

Leaves a funny imprint on walls :laugh:

Here's my output. Not bad. They're a little far apart and the left one is angled slightly wrong, but all in all they turned out okay:

Quality looking work man. Although I'm not too fond of the red housing or demoneyes, to me it would flow with your car better if they were black. But props for doing something different!
