Thanks for the additional pictures, I really appreciate you taking the time to post them. I'm currently in talks regarding a newish design that I hope to have when the fabricator is finished in a few months, until then I still have a bunch of other things to do on my project.

Beautiful car pal.

sanengo is infamous around these parts
Experimenting with rear spacers and added some black vinyl to the roof and rear hatch.

11-20-2015 Update:

Had the chance to install lowering springs from VelocityAP and decided to remove the rear carbon lip.
Again I'll let the pictures do the talking...

Why'd you decide to remove the trunk lip?

Thanks! I didn't like how the fitment of the lip was a bit off and it looks a bit off without the V12 sideskirts, which I would like to put on next. Maybe the lip will go back on then after some additional sanding.

Yes! But I'm not sure what color yet.

Freaking awesome setup. I really want that front grill, where did you get yours?



It's from DNA-3ng1n33r1ng. I'm confident that it will, but it takes some work to make it fit right.

Go Aggies! Nice to see fellow Bay Area folks on here.

Man that drop is perfect! Looks much better than the original pics of the ride height when they first came out.

The car looks a lot like the new V12 GT12 with the orange accents. Very cool!

Hey manton, did you also graduate UCD? Where you at in the bay area? I'm in town with the vantage until Monday.

Updated original post with new pictures. Managed to refit the awkward fitting rear deck lip and now it is much more flush with the hatch. Experimenting with some orange stripes.
