yeah sorry, it was just too big of a project for me at this point. I had all the equipment but no space to do the work, and not that much time between my day job and other contracted work. Hell its taken ShineAuto 5 yrs to build thier FEED repica kit and thats thier business, it will be a while before I acquire a spare garage or something to pull that off.

Do you have any pics of the alterations? We have some ideas but would like to see how you did it. I am taking my time, not in any hurry.

no i do not. my bumper is at the painters and should take about a week or so. sorry i described the best i could maybe this will help.

the crash bar was trimed the bottom picture even with the bottom of the main support i took the angle welded piece off and even all the way across

the corner lights the material was too thick to slide into the white snap pieces behind the corner lights.

last the big main radiation hole was trimed to make up the rest of the clearence to miss the crash bar which was a half inch or so of material in (from the longer lip of the top the part that rolls in is almost perfect.(picture attached of top view near crash bar may be a mirror image i dont recall) and a half to a full inch down.

you end up with a long strip with little ears in a u shape.

I LOVE this kit! I think it'll be mine once I pay off some recent unexpected expenses. :)

SO tempted to buy the front bumper of this kit and maybe mix it with the ings sides/rear in the future.

If the fitment is as good as you say it is... I just might give in

Hay bumblebeerx8 how did you C-West front bumper turn out? I am still working on mine and it looks like it will be closer to 12/1 before I am done enough to have it painted. Damm fog light are giving me a trouble. It would be nice to see how yours turned out.

still at the painters. he promised it would be done sometime this week because he got slammed. Is the smaller hole opening big enough to fit the oem fogs? I went to projector hid fog lights for mine. the size is smaller and they fit with room. I have not looked at mounting them yet though

I wish they were large enough......I have a set of 09 fogs and I may try and use those if I can........I do want drivers or fogs so I'll keep trying. Mounting them is the problem.

yeah im looking at having to make some kind of bracket. i may mount so the stay attached to the car if the bumper comes off just not sure yet. i did get my carbon ms rear put on today but it was too dark for pictures. Also the painter called hestarted my front this afternoon

Attachment 250962just picked up the front bumper today install pics soon

looks good man!

I can't wait to see it installed BumbleBee!!!

Damm, looks good. I should be sending mine in for paint soon. We are still mounting the fogs as the stock ones are my choice. My helper is working on the mounting. We very slow.....I ended having to take more out of the crash bar. Hoping to compete this Saturday for paint and getting the grills powder coated.

here is a quick mount (sorry for cell phone quality and lighting)because i have the fogs to mount and im sure i have to make a custom aluminum underpanel for the intercooler set up

It looks great.......I should be joining you in a couple of weeks.

i said i woud be the first to have it in the usa back at the end of january. Its been a wait but i am loving the look with the ms carbon rear and the veilside skirts with the carbon accent. just need the carbon roof and accolade fenders. been thinking about the new wedsport rims and do the blue accents yellow but we will see

any updates?

I believe its just me that is painted and installed(now off to finish some stuff) Phil is close. both of us just have fronts though

That looks sweet man....I'll take the drive to see it when the weather is nice. props.

yeah and the Turbo is done just have to run the boost controller and connect wires. still have to work on the roof too

I'm done, mounted, painted and grills in. We completed it on Saturday but it was late so no pics. I don't get home before dark and my pic taking ability is terrible so I'm kinda waiting for others to take the pics. If no one comes by Saturday I'll try and take a few to post.

so how did yous end up fitting? what fog lights did you end up going with?

The fitup is nice.....near stock fit. The body shop did the last of the fitup and was impressed. I decided to use the regular O4 fogs but Armin built a special bracket for them.
