Well I just picked up my pieces painted to match the black magic and attached the mesh.......now to get them on the car and get the GHL quad exhaust on there.......
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.....
Just the Lip.....The lip is easy to toss on and has the same basic feel/look for 1/2 the cost. I didn't have the cash to get the full front bumper.....we, do what we can 8)
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
where did you order the kit from.. i was looking at the same company.. looks realllllly goodd... hope to get mine in a couple of months with the Tornado Redddd.. Good luck bro

I think the Rieger and GHL quad tip is what im gonna do to my FH... great thread, Scans you are a welcome addition to MFG... thanks for the pics and info
Well I've had a ton go'n on and haven't had much time for anything.......but I finally got the bumper and exahust on....front lip is still in the box tough :'(
I only have a few pics right now, but have a bunch of the install I can put up once I upload them to my server.
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.

Sweet man, I'd love to know the fix - just cuz......500 + miles so far and no cel, I was at the dealer today and they were in aww. I love having a mod friendly dealer.
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
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.
hey scans.. with ur Rear bumper skirt just on... how much lower is it than the stock on with only one exhaust output??...does it line up alright without the rieger side skirts- just the oem ones .. ??
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)
