Except it will be a sedan! Do you know where I can get the fog lights for the bumper?

The carbon fiber hood is in transit, actually I tried to take my car to the drag strip today and they wouldn't let me go due to my bumper missing. LOL. I just got back from Germany a couple of days ago, but I am looking to be putting the new front end on this week, pics will soon follow.

So here is the update. With all of the parts in, I did a test fit.... its off, not by much, but the support that holds the top of the radiator and the hood latch is different enough to throw the whole thing off. So while I go on yet another business trip I am sending it off to a body shop to have them put it all on. Despite all my testing and comparing, I did not foresee this issue. Oh well. 3 weeks or so and it will be done. Be sure to cast a vote on my poll to decide if I change the color and what to.

Chris found 2 MT's for around 600 a piece. Getting it installed and the new ECU and tuning will probably be around 3K.
