Looks damn good, very nice work. Youve got me wondering what my park avenue would look like with a chop now... scratch

I thought I would like how the front looks best, but that back end is TIGHT!

The entire look of the car has been improved, but those mirrors are a great touch, nice shape on the lens too!

Love the side profile of the rear. Almost looks like a Vette's silhouette. The mirrors are a nice touch. smile

Sorry if I missed this but was there any talk about the front signal lamps? I don't see them anymore.. lol Is this why you have the mirror blinkers? Wait... I think I answered my own question. hahaha

edit: NM... saw your post about it. quiet

Wow! Amazing work. I think it kinda looks like a bentley.

Just as a side note for anyone interested: with the new front bumper the car runs about 8-10 degrees cooler. thumbsup

Oh sh*t, man thats what the car should look like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like the modified front and rear bumpers. As BMD said, that's what it should like like.
The small trunk lip is so much more pronounced now, in a good way.
Too bad i wasn't flush with cash, but I have too many other Iron's in the fire right now to do that mod.

so well done. just perfect.it looks,unlike bumper kits ive seen,so factory.
i am still going to buy, both front and back. just a little longer on the cash thing and im in! maybe ill hit up the significant other claiming this is my midlife crisis cure? what do ya think guys? will she go for it?

Very nice looking, the finished product is AWESOME and to know the workmanship along the way was done right is huge too. Congratulations!!!

So would you make a few more?

SWEET! Near the end of the summer, I'm buying a set. The wife's car needs repainting and it would be a perfect time to do this.

Big time kudos!!!. It looks awesome and if I were Buick or GM, I would be calling you in to get advice on design/styling. It is definitely Euro but if you do make extra sets, please count me in for the pair.

That said, Harley Earl would be proud usa

looks amazing! That car is out of control!

just wondering - Are those Yokohama AVID H4's you got? That tread looks so familiar.

Subject: Re: Write-Up: Front & Rear Bumper Modification Fri May 07, 2010 6:50 pm

They are falken fk452s

Subject: Re: Write-Up: Front & Rear Bumper Modification Fri May 07, 2010 6:54 pm

Thanks for the kind words guys. I really like how things turned out. Tommy is the man. Its amazing how many people have asked me what year my Jaguar is.

After I get the front windshield tinted I will get some descent pictures of the car with a nice background and post "finished" outside pics. I might also put the finished pics in a thread in the showroom section so people won't have to go through 32 pages of build pics to see the finished product. What do you guys think.

Subject: Re: Write-Up: Front & Rear Bumper Modification Fri May 07, 2010 8:12 pm

That rear is so SLICK!!! I'm tempted to get one or both pieces for my car. Can the rear be gotten without the holes? I've got some ideas in mind...

Subject: Re: Write-Up: Front & Rear Bumper Modification Fri May 07, 2010 8:27 pm

Definitely make a showroom thread. Custom front and rear bumpers... they look really great. even a few days later!

Are you driving your car yet or still finishing the interior?

The rear bumper mold does not have the exhaust holes. That way people can do any exhaust they want.

Driving the car every day cool

Then you definitely need some pics up. Weren't you making a custom interior with those sub mounts in the front?
