| 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. 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.

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

| 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. | |

| 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 | |

| 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. | |

| 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... | |

| 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. - deekster_caddy wrote:

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