Default Ordered new front end

I've been crazy about the cervini's front bumper/grills since I first saw it. So I finally buckled down and bought the package. I'll post pics when it's installed, I can't freaking wait.



Just picking out the shop to paint it now. I'm bracing for when I get that bill on top of this one, but it'll be worth it!

It includes the front bumper, upper and lower billet grills, PIAA fog lights, GT fogs with aluminum bezels, and the running horse emblem for 1429.00. It also includes screens for the outer scoops. With shipping it was 1456, but I believe there's a freight charge once it gets here (which I hope can be billed to a credit card as well haha) I'm going to need paint/installation as well as wiring for the lights. I just wanted to make a huge difference towards the look of my car.

I found a shop in my area that does turbos. On Tuesday I'm paying them a visit to show them some of the kits already out, and the custom work members on these boards have done, and see what we can come up with.

Yo, definitely need some pictures of that when it comes in. Are you going to test the fit and mount the front end when it comes in? If so, please post some pictures. I dont care if it is unpainted. I am thinking hard on the Cervini's kit myself and need some encouragment. Thanks!

I'm waiting to hear back on how we're handling the bent lower grill. Also I still have to set up the delivery date for the freight service (I wish they wouldn't have shipped it freight, I'd be more willing to drive there than to pay $110)

Took the car in so they could fit it and all today. They're also painting my mirrors. Should be on by Wednesday. Now I just need to decide on a hood! Won't come until after I have the exhaust/turbo/tune done though!

It's gonna be another day or so. Especially if the lower grill doesn't get here today.
