Finished the $9K of mods on CS pics
A couple months ago I put up a post about modding my brother's wife's 05' CS that they just bought. My budget was $10K, so after spending almost $9K, I promised a few pics.
Changes: Turbo OEM front end conversion, clear turn signals, OEM roof rails, iForged 22" wheels (brushed aluminum w/ chromed lips)
I'd still like to lower the CS, but I'm not sure that's possible w/ the $1K left on my budget? Can you just do springs with a CS?
Unfortunatly my brother's wife is horrible about cleaning the wheels...oh well.
BTW: I'm selling the stock front CS bumper for only $100 bucks. Ad is here:

nice job.
is the front bumper a different color than the rest of the CS?
It just looks a little off in color.
Maybe the light, mind taking some more pics... I'd like to see the interior as well, even if you didn't do any interior mods.
good look.

yeah, in pictures it seems that the color tone is a hair different. However in person it looks the same.
I'll try and take more pics, but considering it took me 3 weeks just to have my sister-in-law stop by so I could take these photos, I'm not promising anything

Front bumper came our really nice. Good job on the swap.
And yes...you can drop it for under $1000. If her CS is not running air suspension, you can do H&R Springs. Here is a comparison for my wife's car before/after we did the springs with 22" wheels (we've changed to Champion wheels since these pics were taken...)

The wheel selection was the one thing my brother and sis-in-law had strong opinions about. I prefered a tough looking 5spoke, or a thicker wider mesh that's not convex. I was pushing hard for a used set of Techarts that I found, but they shot that idea down. Important thing is they are happy with their wheels.
I think going with a tight skinny mesh rim with low profile tires really makes lowering the CS even more important. I'll have to do that next.
Hyboost, thanks again for all your advice sourcing the parts for this conversion!
