I'm also curious about the process....is it a direct bolt on? Looks very Saleen-ish, and the double duals are pleasantly different!

The bumper is from a Saleen Heritage

I had to drill holes in the decklid for the wires and licensee plate, very scary haha.

The hood is a Trufiber GTS-4 http://www.americanmuscle.com/trufib...hood-0509.html

As far as rims I really cant decide, and suggestions? I like the saleen extreme style, but I'd rather have 18's than 20s haha http://www.autoblog.com/photos/in-th...#photo-575000/
That or maybe these http://www.americanmuscle.com/chrome...eral-stag.html

Ive got a while to go though, have to save up for them haha.

That's a tough choice but I think my vote would be for the Saleene rims. I was lookin at those gt rims to for awhile and I really like them except that they are 8.5 all around. I really want to do a 10" wide in the back with some meat on it.

Same here, the ones I posted from AM are 10" in the back, but they are also out of stock.. Maybe there will be more when I finally save up haha. I was hoping that there would be sets of the Saleen extreme style aftermarket somewhere in an 18 or 19, but haven't seen any yet.

I have always loved the CS fascia, especially in Dark Candy Apple! Nice job Gotham! Were your lights HID from the factory?

Also got it washed and waxed, more pics!!

Thanks! It is not lowered, but I've considered it. The front bumper is already sort of low, and I'm worried that it will scrape worse if it was lowered much. So I have not decided what I want to do on that yet.
