What's been done?
2010 OEM LCI Conversion
Custom Carbon hood designed by yours truly
Custom M5 Bumper designed by yours truly
Custom half cage w/Crow Harnesses in Lamborghini Arancia Atlas Micra
Mirrors in Arancia Atlas Micra
Brembo's in Arancia Atlas Micra with classic Brembo
Dropped about .5" inch all the way around
Painted the top piece of the Radenergie lip
Custom Graphics designed by yours truly.


BIG THANKS to Ranz Motorsports (J, Randy, Tommy, Chap and the crew) for making me renderings and dreams come true and Tom at European Auto Source for coding my lights and some other goodies. This would have never been possible without people behind it.
Yes this is scandalous, many of you will hate it, claim that I've ruined the car by putting a half cage in it (passengers still fit) Putting a pearl orange on a classy car, but you all must remember this is my car and it absolutely works as a daily.
Enjoy! (if you enjoy it)

Love the crown and diamond stitching in the seats. The orange makes it stand out from the crowd. Are you going to track it?

When you say mighty familiar, you mean the VIS GTR hood correct?
That's because it was, but I had them reshape the powerdome because it was hideous and make the vents in the middle skinnier because they were too big (in my opinion).

Thank you though!

I wanted to paint the top lip originaly but didnt have time before SEMA. Thank you, the graphics are kind of a play off of the Porsche GTs that have them. Thanks again!
