This year I finally started doing body mods to my car. When we last saw my car it looked like this:



Very stock-like.

I had been looking at spoler's and wings for quite a while and had seen some pictures in an old thread about the TSS wing. I really liked it, and wanted to get it. Unfortunatly the only company that sells it is TSS and they are in Germany. I work for a multi-national company and we had a visitor in our office from Germany and I asked him to help me order the wing. Even with a native German speaker on my side, it too four phone calls and 5-6 e-mails to get the order straignt. Despite the reports to the contrary the wing is actually a very well made piece. The fit and finish were very good (well, for an unfinished piece.) The body shop had no trouble smoothing it down, painting it, and installing it for me.

Now, I had the wing in my living room for about three months waiting for an excuse to take it to the body shop and have it installed. spoonus finally gave me that excuse. He decided to sell his complete INGS +1 body kit. Since the INGS+1 is by far my favorite kit, I jumped all over the deal. I had the kit painted and installed by my body shop.

Of course while it was in the shop I had to have them make a couple of body mods. I had the door-locks shaved as well as the rear badge, trunk lock and antennea. I also had them paint the headlight inner housings Silverstone. The word of the day at the body shop was SMOOOOOTH.

Now, I KNOW I couldn't run the stock wheels with this kit. My rear tires were almost gone. I was going to wait a little while longer then get Enkei RPM2 in Black Chrome, but I saw a post with Prodrive GC-07C wheels in British Black on Silverstone and kniw I had to have those. I ordered them up immediatly and they came in two days before I was to get the car back from the body shop. Shod with Falken Azenis, I was set.

I dropped the car at the body shop on Wednesday the 14th and picked it up on the 23rd. I went home and put the wheels on, and here are ALL the resulting pictures. Enjoy:

The body shop did not paint the front or rear bumpers EXACTLY as I had asked them to, so I am going to take it back in to have these minor changes made to the car. However, it is, for the most part, done now.

 

that rear diffuser kicks ass!

 

looks good... i like that ings rear.. .to bad it's not a real diffuser...

 

Looks good but the spoiler is not my cup of tea. Love the wheels though.. glad you went prodrive.

 

Looks nice, but where's the apology on the lame title for this thread?

 

well executed! CLEAN! prodrive british black matches silverstone perfect.

 

Everything looks nice but i think painting the headlights silverstone as well is well to silverstonish...jmo. Rear spoiler isnt my cup of tea either but its your car, do what you like.
