I saw this at the stealership yesterday...

my car was being towed in and next to it I saw this...I thought it was a bit much...



I think they should have stuck to the OEM grill. It looks cheesy this way.

Is that your tail light in the pic? It looks sweet.

Yeah...I got the chrome trim and the taillights painted. You and I are probably the only ones who like it that way. It's over the top for most folks.

My car is lowered and I also have the C/F front spoiler lip...the boards are used to give a better angle when towed onto and off the flatbed so the front lip and the rear exhaust tips don't scrape.

I had a fuel leak last week and they replaced the fuel pump. I got it back last Thursday...drove it maybe twice this week and then yesterday it stalled at a light. I tried turning it over and over but it seemed liked it would not fire (lack of fuel to engine?), so they looked at it today and they had to order a fuel relay (?).

It's funny (now)...another board members car (KENS-E55 - RIP) had a similar fuel leak in Ft. Lauderdale. His widow took it to the dealership and they did the same work on his that they did on mine last week.

She brought it up to the same tuner (C2Design) who modded both our cars to have it stripped back to stock. He drove it from his parking lot and into his shop and it stalled and showed the same symptoms. They replaced the same part (fuel relay) on his car earlier this week that they are putting on tomorrow.

Go figure...I think he had an 03 or 04...mine is an 04.
