I didn’t like the tiny oem hardware holding the skid plate on…and I do like overkill…so I added 5 riv-nuts for M8-1.25 socket head bolts and it’s definitely solid now.

I was figuring you’d do that. Also it’s super unchill if you don’t give us the how to or a way to buy your lower part
I started a thread to show everything that’s being done in case anyone wants to mimic the process. As far as buying…I highly doubt anyone would be nutty enough to spend what this costs. lol
Labor alone is more than what both screens cost.

Ok…do the China dual 4.5’s fit? Yes and no. Yes they fit the bumper just fine and the length is long enough to slip onto the muffler outlet but the tip inlet is substantially larger than the muffler outlet. I had to cut a sleeve from 3” tubing then cut that in half to take up the slack. Once I drive it a bit and let the exhaust settle and readjust it I’ll have throw a tack weld on to be safe.

Yo @UNBROKEN finally decided to hook up your original wheel setup because the spacers I was running with stock wheels were destroying the front tread. I appreciate the testing you did.

Everything is back from paint and better than I hoped. Reassembly tomorrow. IMG_6006.jpeg IMG_6005.jpeg att.KsFtmjgSI7ItyDflMKnxH3Ab9yeVIIdL7NHQrqiR8Wc.jpeg

It came out as well as I could have hoped. Pretty much spot on to my “render”. Still needs a lot of cleaning and paint correction on the rest of the car and I can’t wait to get the new wheels on. 6CF122A3-8210-4919-BB3C-C07014A48160.jpeg IMG_6014.jpeg View attachment IMG_6015.jpeg IMG_6009.jpeg

What is different with the euro headlights compared to U.S.?

They have a clear va orange reflector on the side. I haven’t had them on at night yet so don’t know if they’re the same brightness or what. They do have a height adjuster for both beams unlike the US lights.
