Dyam! Nice car...the paint looks awesome. Very clean. Love the rims...but not too hot about the chome. Are those Axis Milano's? What size? Overall, very clean car.

Sweeeeeetttt......... absolutely good looking + eye-catching car
I really like your renntech exhaust...... it was my first choice before I bought my eisenmann. Where did you purchase yours if you don't mind me asking?
It seems that every shop that I called doesn't have it in stock, even the renntech headquarters in FL. Anyways, excellent mods on the car and the next thing in purchase list is the Brembo GT kit off course :v

First off, Thank you Smalldog for posting the pics (dial up sucks).

Thanks guys for the compliments.

Wheels are 19" Axis Milano (fell in love with the deep lip)

Renntech exhaust I purchased on Ebay for $450

The front spoiler I bought used and cracked from someone on this forum for $500, cost me another $500 to have it fixed and painted.

The rear bumper, sideskirts, and decklid I purchased from Peter at Wheelexperts (good looking out Pete)

Brklynbenz, no roof spoiler. didn't want to overdue it. Also I purchased those parts new from Peter its not off of there project car, Although thats what got me inspired.

that all depends on where you shop... it is probably achievable between the range of about, $400-600... for a used unit...

Your car looks great! How damaged was the front spoiler? Was it difficult to fix? The reason I ask is because I have an extra rear Lorinser DTM bumper which is cracked. If this is something that can be repaired I would like to sell it.

It was cracked all the way thru from top to the bottom right above the left foglight, so it was pretty much in 2 pieces.

I took a chance on buying it, I took it to about 7 bodyshops and was turned away, they all said no can do, but I got lucky and told this one body shop that they no longer make this kit and I already have the rest of the kit on the car (I didn't), So I pretty much gave him a sob story. He said he would give it a shot and it took them about 3 weeks to finish but it came out looking brand new. Good luck.

itsel33,
would you be interested to trade ur renntech exhaust for my eisenmann race?
They're the dual round tip (2x83) and in mint condition as well. I'd be willing to pay your shipping cost to my address
Let me know what you think...... threef@hotmail.com
Thanks

The only reason beyond that is to matched my renntech wheels.... and the Carbonfibre airbox
I've had the eisenmann for a little over a year.... which during those time the exhaust installed and up 'til now, the car was driven for less than 10,000 miles. I'd say the condition is pretty good, there is no dent or ding to the tips (not sure about the bottom part, haven't got a chance to look underneath lately). I'll snap a few pictures if you're interested, let me know........ thanks buddy.

Car looks great, but that mesh on the body kit needs to be painted black. A lot of people with aftermarket kits don't seem to get that unpainted, body colored, white, or any non black mesh looks terrible.

Thanks, Josh,
I don't think the chrome mesh, painted black would work with my setup, chrome wheels and all.
