Onto the goodies:

Arriving parts


Front lip (upside down)


Front lip next to car


Rear Apron


Attaching the Mesh








Hopefully I'll be able to get to the install of the GHL soon, Go'n to NY this weekend and the mesh requires a nights rest to cure.....

i think reiger is the best kit..its half the price of the Oett kit looks the same only difference is the Oett is a full replacement bumper..that means more to pay when you wreck your car or have to replace it...it costs like 2500 where as the reiger is like 1100-1400..looks so kick ass scans no I know what it will look like..been waiting for this

Looks awesome! I wish I had a steady job to be able to do things to my car... hopefully by next month I'll be making enough and you guys will see my car flourish.

Scans, i hope my e-mail persuaded you to put the pictures! haha. I would come across one of your posts and think... I wonder what happened to that back bumper.

Whats the fix?...SHARE man SHARE :)

What kind of gains have you found with the GHL? hows it sound? cause it looks fantastic!!!
The sounds I love, its a deep mean growl. It's just borderline on too loud for me, so it's just under the radar. It is def the most loud in 5th and 6th in wot. I'm gonna dyno it soon. Everyone that sees it loves it. I went to visit my parents and my mom got in, she didn't even notice a diff in sound, but then again she's a lil loopy :p

Then hush hush, I'm testing a GHL prototype Air Intake and then another dyno for them to show gains of their intake and exhaust so that'll be fun.

Hopefully I'll get that other stuff on, button up my stereo install, and get my DV installed then chip me baby.

Scans....good to have you back bro.

If you get any CELS from the GHL hit me up...I have a fix.

LOOKS AWESOME!!
Well Ironically, I let my gal take my car, and I took hers to change the oil today, she calls me and says "a light is on"

How can I contact you for the fix, we can't PM here, and your email is hidden =)

DOHHHHHHH

Please post the fix here so those of us planning to buy the GHL can also take advantage of the info.

Scans, other than the light that just came on, any issues with the exhaust or apron? did it install easily?

Any idea about HP gains over the stock exhaust or is it just better sound?

Yea, good question ... could save some bucks and tidy up the rear nicely if ya didnt have to drop the dough on the full kit.

Although the Rieger side pieces look pretty trick in my opinion, think it would be worth the extra bread to get the whole thing and GHL turbo back quad tp exhaust ....its only money ;)

yea i know .. but my only plans are putting the ghl full exhaust on with the Rieger back skirt.. and then painting just the Oem sideskirts and lip...New Jersey ROADS= No body kit for me lol....i'll tear it off or sumthing will break i know it!!....lol.. paint the oem sides and lip- Rieger back skirt+ghl exhaust and lower it with coilovers...... yea it is just MONEY..lol O0 O0

Yeah, I thought it was gonna look so funny with just the rear skirt installed. So yes I just got the rear skirt. But it actually looks good. The diff in height vs. the front and side skirts is only about 1.5 inches. I think it will look more off when I stick the front lip on. The rear apron wasn't hard complicated wise, but it was hard PITA wise. A lot of dremel test fit, dremel test fit...you get the picture. I still haven't got it completely flush, nor have i put on the brackets, but two weeks and it hasn't moved. I plan to get side skirts eventually just didn't have the time quite yet........

I'm gonna try and slap the front lip on now while the wife is out with her mom 8)
