Car is looking good Rich, so have you decided if you're gonna keep the n420 front lip or sell it?

if you decide to sell it i want first crack.

i haven't started that header job as yet.

 

Wonderful, Rich!

 

Thanks!
I'm still going back and forth on it. I'll let you know the moment I make up my mind, though



Thank you sir!!

 

Awesome Rich, now get the exhaust tips ceramic coated..

 

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so everyone will have different opinions.
My two cents, I like the N420 front lip better.

 

I like it, very nice...

 

I completely forgot about the Prodrive lip! Definitely looks like a goldilocks solution...

It's on my list! I'll be honest, I've been tired of the chrome ones for a while now.

 

I looked them up, but cannot find a list of parts they will sell. I am about to get a few CF pieces and looked for other options other than V Collection, but for the most part came up empty. RSC has very little and while others do, I don't want TELUM01 to run into fitment issues. If you can let us know where to look I would appreciate that.

 

I've already reached out to see what I can find on the Prodrive front lips. We'll see what happens

 

Finally got around to pulling off the extra slats to make a 4-bar grille. MUCH happier with the look compared to the original 8 bars. Also took 1 lb 11 oz off the nose of the car

Have you considered the torx bolts that hold the belly pan and the 4 wheel liners in place. These big headed bolts are really heavy and the parts that they hold are not that heavy.
Even the front cover in the bonnet use those heavy bolts. Try Titanuim bolts. All those bolts are a easy 12 pounds.

 

I hear Gorilla Glue works really well, Just Glue those pieces in place and save weight and money!

 

Three quarter front view of your car with 4 bar grille looks great. I am surprised, I have been predisposed to 6 blade as optimum just based on the direction taken by AM design people.

Can you provide additional pictures? Include a full frontal view (of your Vantage).

 

I've looked into titanium bolts but they're super expensive. I'll probably use them down the road for certain things but I'm investing every spare dollar I have into my little website so things like titanium bolts are out of my reach right now.


Honestly I'm not a big fan of how black 8-bar grilles look... the large, dark surface area takes too much attention away from the rest of the car. Kind of upsets the balance in my opinion. The 6-bar grilles look good, but I don't have one and didn't want to spend the money to get one. Popping out every-other slat to make a 4-bar grille really works, I think. I still need to refinish it, so it looks a bit rough right now. And a fresh black coat will also help disguise the notches for the missing slats, which will make it look more polished.

 

LMAO

Just think how much weight you would lose if you did this all over the car.
