fitment was off and took some work to get rid of all the gaps. I dont know the the actual maker of the wing though. The resin has faded because of low quality and mounts are fiberglass and not metal so i made some aluminum ones. If it was not carbon and what i really wanted it would have went in the dumpster.I believe there are a few carbon replicas out there but i can not speak for any of them. replicas are hit or miss on fitment and quality.

Being a LY owner, I've never been a fan of the "bumblebee" look and I'm still not. But you know what they say about opinions... Regardless, the C-West front looks absolutely phenomenal on your car. Excellent choice and props to a very clean car done right.

thanks, I enjoy looking at your projects too, I tried to make DGRR but work made it a no go. The guy that took these does a awesome job editing and the canon he uses is insane. More to come through out the summer if if get the car back together.

Thanks, it has its flaws no doubt. I almost didnt make it due to a leaking brand new 360 forged rim, they are on just for pics and show now. You in Monroe Michigan or Ohio? Im in Toledo.

haha thanks Dean..... No clue about coming back to Winnipeg this summer yet as I'm graduating at the end of April; then taking off to Egypt for 3 weeks then 3 weeks of touring around Asia/Europe where ever my little bro and I end up. Gonna be a sweet summer but won't get much done to the car as I'm starting my full time Job August 1st too.

As far as that girl goes I don't remember what her name was anymore and she was telling me to come to some bar because she worked at the front collecting cover; said we could come for free. I think the bar was called Area Nightclub or something like that maybe? All I remember from it was that it was a club located just off one of the main drags in Peg and there was alot of 18 year old kids there... probably some even younger haha



Also Bumblebee, I was never a huge fan of the C-West front but seeing it on a LY has definitely opened my eyes... loving it

Wow that is the ugliest POS ever. Oh, and that bodykit is not "1 of a kind", it is commonly referred to as the "failside" bodykit made my veilside or any number of knock off body kit manufacturers..

That's pretty harsh ...this is pretty much my first And furthest I will have gone with a vehicle project.. I was going for a unique head turner, I wasn't looking to get "the same Ol' wheels" that everyone else seems to have.. From what I was told, this particular kit just came out.. I have seen similar but haven't Come across this particular one exactly.. I was hoping, possibally, for some positive inspiration for my 8 project.. But I Guess that's a much to ask for? ... Thinking about sporting these wheels this year and switching it up next season ...


I believe it is an "extreme dimensions" kit..

Just being honest man, those rims and that kit are the worst ever. Search for thread title, "extreme dimension" and you will see what I mean. Take notes from some (namely bumblebeerx8) of the LY's in this thread. The LY has been around for 8 years, there is not much you could even thing of doing that someone else has not already done.
