I think i have some from autorama in detroit and they had the car there. I'll try and find them and post them up for you

I was only able to find 1 pic from the auto show but here are some others I was able to find on their website as well

The only thing i really like is the sides. Other than that the front is ugly as hell without the crossmember in the grille and the rear is too conservative. Just a simple indent on a stock bumper. However if you dont want something too crazy or aggressive it works nicely.

Well, I beg to differ, because its my car. You're entitled to your opinion though.

Do a search for posts started by me (I'd post a link, but my internet is slow as *****) and you'll find the pics I posted.

I did manage to get my front bumper straightened out.

The kit is high quality, it fits really well, and I love how it looks (the blue with white mesh does it for me). In the pictures, the bowtie is on the front in the mesh - i'm going to be color-matching it soon. The gold just doesn't go.

It is a little higher off the ground than stock.

Hope i've helped.

And dude, honestly, that is THE MOST important thing. You have to be happy with you car, as I said in that original thread. I feel that you ruined it from the stock body, but if YOU like it, your say is the only one that matters and the only one that has a say in it. If you like it.

I don't, I personally think its a downgrade and makes it look like my LS with a few more vents here and there...and its way overpriced.

Look at the link below to see how looks on an SS/SC. But the sides are nice, but what WOULD be cool if you had the rear, then added the SS/SC rear lip, that would be NICE!

I would second that. Most don't, but if he likes it, that is all that matters.

Sitting higher is good in some situations (like dips and ****) but I hate the look of the front bumper.

I personaly don't think the kit is all that bad... it looks beautiful, and the only reason it appears to sit higher, is because it doesn't have the lips that the stock kit does.
