thanks Phil

phrank, iridium's good too.

Luisin, you mean the LED turn signal tail light? it looks a little modern, but i just want to do the Bullit style tail light. The c63 style grille you can get from ebay for about $200 USD.

Did you drop the suspension or did the wider wheels fill up the space by themselves...looks good.

stock suspension. probably because the offset on the C63 wheel's more aggressive and the front tire's 235/40/18 vs 225/40/18 on the optional wheels.

thx guys.

this is the grille that I'll be getting and been help testing thanks to K1. pricing hasn't been set. I'll be the first one. you can also check out K1 for update. the pics are actually showing the mold that will be used. I'm very excited. I'll be testing for them for the pre-production grille hopefully next week. If all goes well I should have it in time for the Nov. 15th Saprissa Meet.

as soon as I know more detail I'll let everyone know. so far they say it'll weight in at approx 14oz. aero grade CF product. serial numbered something like it and should be very strong.

tested the prototype #1 monday noon. looks like K1 can get an early production one ready by the Nov 15th big SoCal meet.

held the grille today. it weight next to nothing. I'd say around 1lb tops.

I took some quick pics while they're marking it down for fitment.
