Sorry guys for the lack of updates,,, The mirrors are in the works, Ive completed my sideskirts, and Ive taken another route with the rear diffuser. The biggest thing Im working on now is the front bumper but I need a larger area to work in, that should be resolved soon enough,,,

Just have had to travel around the country alot for work lately and have been super busy at work, should slow down at the end of the month though,,, The car is going to look awesome in a month or so,,,

nope havent heard anything in two months, the supposed customer kept trying to get me to send him concepts and was like, "ohh Ill have the money soon just send the images over and we'll talk about money next week". Rotr8 dont play that!!!
So as far as I know that one was a farse,,, they'll probably get some college student to come up with something with an illegally liscenced piece of software downloaded off a torrent site that didnt cost them anything,,, ohhh well,,,
But the two projects in CONUS are still in full progress,,,

^^^ well it was a whim, since its gotten warmer around here, Ive been looking to cut a lower section out and install a splitter that would allow for an opening to my secondary radiators(built into the undertray) so I was sitting at the dealership one day and staring at the new 3s and noticed that the trim piece on the lower bumper was near the curvature of the AutoExe bumper. So I went inside and asked the parts guy how much the part was, $15 and change, I ordered it, when I recieved it, chance had it was the EXACT same curvature, so Im building the support brackets now.
But to answer the question, I was refering to a custom build bumper that I thought was going to be built over the winter, but I just didnt have the space in my house to complete it,,, there is a thread in the exterior forum that I photoshopped what its going to look like,,,
