Airdam options??
Hi all,
what do I do with the front? I was lucky in a recent off road excursion and scratched up my airdam, so i will need it painted. The question is, do I:
1 - Paint it and get it back to looking awesome (I gotta say I love this car for some reason)
2 - Paint it and add a brabus lip
3 - Replace it with a full on aftermarket. If you say this option, which one. I do not like the double fog light look, but I kind of like the one on the Brabus EV12. I like the gills, but the AMG ones are too much for me.
HELP!!

Hmm, I guess that is another option. The thing is that even with what happenned, the car is soooo clean (since i'm dumping the rims). That said, the least scratches make me feel like crap

My return trip from Palomar ended up costing me a new front PS2 tire on the driver side...

How'd you like it up there? Car feel nice? I like the Brabus, but the Carlsson looks too add on to me.
Does anyone know when the Euroteck will be ready and if it will be a more seamless fit than Brabus in any way? Or is it just gonna be cheaper?

I am looking at the Carlsson lip... Should be a nice addition! Did you get the car lowered via STAR?

Dude, I could smoke some major butt in a Pcar up there. Man o man, I can only imagine. It was even fun chasing the lotus up there and seeing how agile he was!! Too bad 200hp just isn't enough

No STAR drop yet. I tried to have it done once, but it didn't seem to move much, so I wasn't charged.
Now, another member here has an MB source in LA that he can turn me onto. His car was also done and it is by far the lowest STAR dropped I've seen. All he needs is fatter rims and wheels and it will be sick!! I was starting to think that STAR wasn't gonna cut it and was planning on copying JAY55's module. I still may, just because I want to be able to raise and lower it safely and at will.
How did you hang with the Pcar? Were you trying hard or just kickin it? I was being pretty aggressive when I went. My damn shoulder is still so sore.

I love how it sits right now and see no reason for a module at all.

Dude, it looks MINT!! Perfect height. Yours is the only one I've seen that is that low with just star. I've seen a few w/ STAR AND washers, but I'd washer it before I did both.
We need to meet back up and have some fun. You and your buds were great fun and cool folks that are full of knowledge that complements my rough edge.
I'll definitely head up to Willow for some fun.
As for the air dam, I paid $120 to have it buffed and it looks pretty good. i can still tell, but you gotta bend down and look. It still bugs me, so I'll be fixing or replacing it soon.
