Most of the caris together. I have to finish the wiring and then attach the lower splitter. Speaking of which, what hardware did you use for the splitter?
Pics should be ready this afternoon... FINALLY

Regular flat clips with sheet metal screws that have big washers. Use something with 7mm head for good torque, not Philips head.

RE: Cloning Begins!
Finally finished the front end about9 pm last night (started at 2pm). I'll get some pics up shortly but here are some updates:
1. Figured out the wiring on the fogs. Used the outer two wires and it worked perfectly. Grounded the third wire to the car body to be safe. No issues but I'm going to keep my eye on it.
2. For the front splitter, I bought simple 1" x 1/4" bolts, washers, and lock washers at Lowe's. Works like a charm, although its challenging to attach in the wheel-well area. If you have smaller hands you might have more luck in this area, but I do not so it was challenging.
3. I was sick and tired of using the OEM jack, so I bought a 2 1/4 ton hydraulic jack at Lowes. Makes life sooo much easier I can't believe I didn't buy one sooner. Highly recommended.
4. My stock GT hood is having a hard time closing all the way now. Not sure why. With a little pressure it catches, but something isn't aligned somewhere. I'm not overly concerned because my GT500 hood is already on its way and should be hereearly next week.
Thanks for all your help guys, especially MellowYellow06 who even called me and walked me through some details of the conversion. What a great group of guys. I will get pictures up very soon.

RE: Cloning Begins!
Soon as in right now! If you weren't finished, I was gonna head out to Charlotte and give you an extra pair of hands. I'm in the Raleigh area! If your pics convince me, I might have to do the same thing
What kind of price did you get?

If you are local, I can connect you to the guy that put my kit together. The cost he gave me was the absolute bestI have found anywhere, and I researched it for months. So if you want this kit and you are relatively local to Charlotte, get in touch with me.
