wow, love the molded full Wald kit. Moded OEM front looks good as well. IMO, you should stance the hell out of it. Coils and an aggressive set up would look sooo sick. Great work!

Looks nice! Surprised I haven't seen you around anywhere. You beat me to the punch on the dual exhaust Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have mine done (just need straight pipe).

Doooooood! Props for being different man. Really like the widebody rear, looks very clean. Wish the front was also wider. Also I feel like there should be some more contrasting black accents (like black grill, mirror bases and maybe mirrors, etc.). Would also like the see the front door handles shaved, just having the front handles looks odd to me.

Interior looks like its gonna be dope, can't wait to see it put together.

Who did your LED conversion? Looks like there are some "hot spots" which are common when you have to sand down the gauge cluster, its almost impossible to get it even.

Exhaust looks awesome. What lip is that molded into your trunk?

what up snoop..i think i talked to u a while back thru craigslist for some part..idk
and yes all the work was done by Original Autohaus on anderson, they are real good ppl. That shop on lois was a nightmare to say the least..glad they didnt do the work.

papa- thanks man, check the thread u made forever ago about a color change..i commented about the battleship grey...
Yeah, I remember, you were a fan of BSG too Glad to see that tone of color on a sedan and it really works well IMO. I really like how you kept the OEM fender line in the rear. It flows perfect into the molded Wald rear. I also noticed you split the Wald rear into 3 sections. Smart move incase one of those panels gets damaged, you don't have to replace it all. The only thing off to me, like Marcus mentioned, would be some additional black accents. The mirror bases and grille would be an easy change Even if you left it as is though, still looks great. More pics please

looks sick man but that grill is begging to be gloss black, mold the rear doors shut and you'll have a Soupe (Sedan with 2 doors) our cars don't look alike anymore lol
@ Marcus that's the Grubbs spoiler

I like it, but IMO the front needs to match the rear more.

I really dig cars with aggressive front flares, like the G8 or M3

The rear 1/4's and exhaust are awesome. I think a coupe front end would round off the car nice. It'll widen the front to match the rears more. Very sick nonetheless. Any details on the exhaust? Would love to have something like it.

‘Preciate all the comments and opinions guys. Exhaust vid coming soon. Set up is ichiba headers/ kinetix hfc/ magnaflowX/ borla premufflers/ quad ss tips.

May go for a flush/ fat setup soon with coils. Im def spacing the front wheels out.

Front handles shaved would be cleaner and may happen down the road. Wide front would look dope but its been done and not the direction we were going. Wanted to give the sedan a wider rear track like the coupe and 350, similar to “wide booty” conversions corvette owners do by swapping to z06 quarter panels, or Porsche turbo rear end conversions.

Led’s are being done by a friend local, we’re definitely having diffusion issues with the cluster. We’ve calmed it down a lot since that pic but it is far from perfect. Ill have some assembled interior pics soon.

Could anyone photoshop a black grill and mirrors? thanks again!

I dunno, man. The radiused rears are way to aggressive for the car being stock bodied up front.

The work, paint and front look great though. Is that one of the Audi grays?
