actually took a few update pics today as a matter of fact!!

Car just now has all the pieces sanded, prepped, primed etc..the kit will be painted, then the car has to go back to the performance shop for the big brake kit and then the upholstery shop for the suede..finally goes back to the audio shop where I will help finish off the audio/video/computer stuff...

I really like the wheels, glad I went with the axis matrix wheel

pics follow:

i really think that black and LS slit color scheme on your hood looks awful...as a matter of fact. the entire black top method looks awful! a gentleman here with a DB who just painted his roof black is the only one who did it right!

repaint that whole top surface...ugh...

With a body kit as wild as the one you have, you will always get two very strong opinions, either they love it or hate it. I wouldnt do it to my car, but in my opinion it will look very good when it gets painted and finished.

I think you folks are right about that bumper on the darker colors, on black or purple it looks pretty good IMO. Those Axis wheels look good too, but again, dont belong on a LS painted car.

Have you thought about going with a Custom DARK DARK DARK color?

You need a large gt carbon fiber bumper to even out the front and the rear since it has such an extremely aggressive front bumper.

First off, I wanna thank my sponsors and the community for making this possible

Second, I appreciate your comments and thoughts, but I don't think the thread requires haters...if it's not your style..fine...just say so w/o going overboard.

Third, the car used for these pictures is not mine, it is owned by Ibherdesign and was used to fit the kit(which will be available for sale in the U.S. soon)

All bodywork was done by Ibherdesign www.ibherdesign.com. The kit is named "Venom"

So without further ado

Old kit(for sale - PM me)

New kit going on:

it looks awsome

D'oh!!! I mean giant GT wing! It already looks like something you'd see from D1 or SEMA, why not top it off with a wing, I think it will even out the appearance.
