Couple of New Mods - Painted MG Trunk, Custom Fenders, Done by VIP Status

Hopefully this thread doesn't cause too much drama. I feel the MG trunk (or potential Mach III trunk) works really well with our cars. Also got some custom fenders done by VIP Status. If any of you guys are interested in a custom fender design, or whatever your imagination can come up with, send me a PM and I'll get you a good price.

Before paint:


After:


My favorite mod, haha:





After messing around with the bolts and removing both dampers, this is how the trunk fits. I need to tweak it some more to get better fitment (of course it will never be OEM), but this is good enough for me.

Fenders, couldn't get a good shot in the garage:

More Pics! Looks great Alex! I really like the way you painted your trunk. Are you planning to run it without the dampers from now?

Alex looks crazy sick homie! Love the BBK color, did you use that green that we had talked about? Trunk looks sweet with the CF visible.

Fenders are awesome too, very aggressive, got a full side profile shot?

I'm running the exact same Fatlace plate frame

Looks real good. Take off the stickers and it would be sick nasty. Unless your getting paid for the stickers, then perfect as is.

car looked great at Status today Alex

I can’t believe I didn’t notice the trunk - but I definitely noticed the fender!!!!

I look forward to seeing under hood - I presume you ran ducting to the engine bay? Did you cut fender well? Of route from farther front?
