I have been telling him that for a year. LOL

I really like that lip, might have to invest on one of those. I think it looks good on our already dark car.

Haha! If I got a dollar for everytime someone says you need black grilles, I'd have a set sitting in my garage. Besides, if you are going to go for the lip, we'd have to differentiate our cars somehow right? I'll go chrome!

But yea, I highly recommend the lip. Looks great and flows with the lines of the front end!

P.S. Weather is starting to get warm. I'll let you know of a mountain drive soon

Thank you. That car belongs to forum member "vastano". As you said P40SC, Swift springs, Akra Evo. The car is white (forgot AW or Mineral), but in that picture, it's a matte white wrap.

Made some good progress today! My first try at fiberglass work, but I think it turned out great. It's already sanded down and ready for some bondo.

So here's a sneak preview:

Today, a couple of members and I got some work done on our M's. Picture of some Bavarian muscle cars:


At the end, we also threw the trims I've been working on. Wedge a few things under the skirts so that the tape adheres. Repaired Mode Carbon V1 + FRP skirt extenders on:


Proper ADM5 photoshoot coming soon!

Front lip fix came out very nice! What side skirts are those?

Thanks, they aren't perfect and I still would like to throw on a coat of gloss eventually. Believe the skirts are made by Forcewerkz (the FRP version). Got them for pretty cheap, but they were also damaged so I fixed them at the same time I did the lip. Very straight forward. Have you accidentally stepped on them when getting out of the car? I did, gotta remember to not put my foot there anymore

Thanks for the kind words man! Wait until you see the pics from the photoshoot we did on Sunday. Looks even better than my jalopy cellphone pics

[tbone28]

the forcewerkz skirts are a nice design. I like mine. Many close calls but haven't stepped on them yet!

I don't know if you realized or not, but they also double up as mud flaps. Went on a drive yesterday and they were protecting the actual side skirts from little rocks haha

^ Thanks! Here's a better pic of it, the last one I uploaded was terrible haha. Our first mountain drive of the year:


And a teaser from photoshoot. I've only seen one picture myself and absolutely can't wait to see the rest!

[ADM5]

turns out there was a piece of metal digging into my side...the things I do to get the shot. I risk tetanus. Haha

[Blindside_137]

Gorgeous! Can't wait for the shoot!

[tbone28]

The matte finish on the lip looks great with your car color. My vote is for a matte clear if you're going to clear the lip

I just sent the link to W/// for the full set for him to pick and choose what to post on his build thread. But I couldn't help but post one of the 'boring' ones

[W///]

Here's the rest! Thanks again ADM5!









Not much else to do on this car. Maintenance is completely up to date. Will take rear bumper off and get them repainted as they look kind of rough, and will then re-install Arkym diffuser. It also needs to be detailed too.
