I don't mind the black. The hood liner will eventually rub it off. Just really odd to have teal on all the parts they sell.
Just an FYI on the Soulfunction strut tower brace. The black crinkle coat doesn't wear off, at least mine hasn't, and i've had mine for over a year. You can see on the hood liner wear it rubs, but it hasn't affected the bar at all. Still looks good as new. The crinkle coat is some heavy duty stuff, almost like truck bed liner, it ain't going nowhere.
That's kinda cool looking. What car is the lower bumper from? I can't tell. And why didn't you shave the towhook hole? its not even functional anymore.
The bottom is from a lexus GS-Fsport. And i have to cap to the towhook hole and just didnt get a chance to put it in. The original plan included using the towhook hole as a mounting point for a license plate bracket and then plans changed
Where ya been hiding Sunny? Looks like you've been busy, interesting look there, looks like quite a few new parts involved in that swap, care to share how much that set you back? I like it!
Im personally not a fan of the new bumper and is it me or is it a different color than the rest of your car? Did you just grab a black bumper and put it on without paint matching or is it just the light or something?
I applaud you for going outside the box and that must of been quite the challenge of making that bumper fit correctly. Got any more angles to see?
You guys quit picking on him. That's some impressive work right there. If someone goes the length of fitting a bumper from a different brand, you bet your @ss they'll paint match it and make sure all the holes are patched!
MOAR PICS!
Need to see more angles. Its hard to judge from that one shot. Its like that new Infiniti Q concept. From some angles its horrid, but other angles, on video, and in person its a stunning car. WE WANT PHOTOS!!! lol, its very interesting. I think a splitter may complete the look. Here is a super quick, rough photoshop mockup of what I mean.

Hate to come off as a D**k and break your stride as the knight in shining armour, but every comment after his post has been positive. Even Daddy, who said he didn't personally like it, appreciated the work that went into it.
I like it! I had planned on going with the wheels centers color matched on my car but I may not right now. That definitely looks good. Will be REALLY nice lowered. What suspension are you going with? Also, what are your wheel and tire specs?
Picked up a set of brand new Hipermax III coil overs and SPL Camber Arms from one of the members on this forum late last year (Thanks IPL). Ran out of time to get everything dialed in and installed.
Hope to get everything finished up and dialed in on my next trip back home.
Those wheels are going to look really, really good on your MW Sedan after you get the fitment sorted out. Until then... you must be looking at that rear poke and losing your mind. G'luck with the drop.
Understand and agree. Lucky for me (I guess), is that the G will sit in my garage until my next trip back home so I get to keep my sanity.
I work in the PNW diagonally most opposite side of the state. I have 2 trucks out here. The G and the other rides are home in Fl.
