Update Pics.....Finally!
Well Ladies and Gents, I finally found the time and got to the point where I'm comfortable posting a few pics of the updated cosmetic mods I've done over the last couple of months. There are definitely folks here who I just CANNOT touch, but I gots to get in where I fits in
. The shot with the water and Chicago skyline in the background is hands down my favorite except for the fact that after 2 1/2 hours of STAR lowering, my DUMB a$$ left the suspension in comfort mode for the shoot.
The shoot was impromptu and definitely a great surprise for me. Thank you SOOO much my friends (you know who you are) for all of the hard work, dedication, determination and care that you've put into my car. Mere money just doesn't seem enough to repay you guys for all that you've done for me. THANK YOU!!!!!
OK, update; The guys at Elite Performance Ltd. have had to change the name of their company due to some stupid a$$ infringement laws and I don't want to divulge their new name until they're sure the same problem won't arise again.
HOWEVER, HEED MY WORDS; THESE GUYS ARE NO JOKE! They live, breathe, sleep, eat and sh*t high performance and code! As a general rule of thumb, I don't endorse because somehow, it usually comes back to bite me in the a$$. But after having MY OWN car (which is the nicest car I've ever been blessed with, my dream car) not just just worked on or modified but actually taken care of and cared for by these guys, WATCH OUT Chicago area tuners (and beyond)! These guys are coming and they're coming HARD & SMART!!!!! OK, enough a$$ kissing. On to the pics!
Brief mod list:
Performance tune by THESE guys: Dyno sheet imminent, DAMN HUGE difference
STAR lowered by THESE guys
HID and LED conversion by THESE guys
DCT Motorsports painted FRP front lip install by THESE guys
Hood, steering wheel, trunk lip emblem, roof & trunk spoiler by ME
I've got WAAYYYY more pics but since only 6 at a time are allowed, here you go, hope you like, there are more to come!
Hey, I just noticed, this is post #211 for me. That's pretty cool being that this is finally my mod post. LOL!

Very nice. great job, to bad I am way down here in TX, but if they come this way someone let me know. Do you have any lower front pics of the car like from ground level. I see you have the stock HE and lower cooler, does your lip fit well. I was wondering how low it would be.
keep the pics coming.

Thank you sir!
Thanks a million my man. I think they're gonna be Chi based for a while, but I'm POSITIVE they're gonna be doing ECU tunes by mail. The lip fits excellently! Ivan @ DCTMS is the man! Here are the best front end pics I have (bottom). I hope they give you an indication of the "lowness".
Thank you very much "C"! Post 211, How ironic huh?
Sun, I continue to strive to be worthy.

Looks like you will be getting a lot more chicks lol! I like all the mods and the lights match perfectly. Did you put a heat exchanger or why is the front bumper off?

Thank you my man!
PITA!!!!! But DEFINITELY worth it. Still gotta clay & polish him though. After that, watch out!
Thank you very much!
Thank you and close, they're 8K.
LOL! Thanks my man but my wife has answers for all those chicks in the form of a Chanel bag fulla pepper spray.
No heat exchanger yet. In a previous thread, I showed pics of my front bumper practically destroyed by rebar sticking up out of a parking block. I had to completely replace the front bumper and decided to install the front lip and upgrade to 8K Hid's and LED's all while the bumper was removed for replacement.
Correct Jeremy & don't forget the front lip.
Thank you kind sir!
Here you go my man. Replicas but damn good ones. Price is freakin unbelievable.
