How might color also affect your choice?

some might think it's too sporty if you have the whole kit. just the front lip isn't a bad move .

2 touchdowns versus a safety...I think I will go for it. Called the body shop today to inquire about costs, I'm pretty sure they vend for ACS.

Anyone familiar with turn-around time on getting ACS parts? I'm assuming they have a distributor, probably in LA.

front+sides are the best IMHO. Rear - overdone.

Any pics? How much did they ding you for? I think Stormace said upfront that it was $1100, right?

I am doing the front Lip only its on its way the side and rear are too overdone, the car doesnt need it.


If I have time I am fabricating stainless mesh grills for the grill and front bumper.

Same material as a Jaguar R and Aston Martin DB7, I have sheets of this stuff from England already chromed.
