It's already been fixed.

Basically there is a metal bracket on the back of the factory fascia that needs to be relocated to the new fascia. Unfortunately we did not get an oppurtunity to install this fascia, the shop that painted the car did the install.

Maxentropy- I have stated this countless times, a lot of people do this install wrong. Just use as many of the stock components from the original bracing that you can, then you cant go wrong for rigidity

LOL...I guess my shop did the install right on my car.

As for the NG coupe.....What's up with the real tree camo pattern. Last ime I knew, they used the digital camo pattern.

Great to hear! Sorry, never seen your response. I skim/entirely skip some posts so apologies. As some of ya know my front and rear bumpers are damaged so I am definitely considering the front fascia. There was discussion back after the fascia was released about inserts-- not to rob the thread but what happened in that regard? (Adidas or Kyle could prolly answer that) Thanks for the info gents.

Mentally remove everything from the pics except the wheels and brakes.

Now it's looking a bit better.

Unfortunately we do not know yet. The 6MT's are so rare that we don't get our hands on them. If someone local would like to stop by we can work out some special pricing for the use of the vehicle.

I don't care what people say, but when i was looking at this pic for the first time i didn't like the car one bit. It was two days before HIN was happening and i was dissapointed that the only A/C that was going to be there looked like this, but then seeing it in person changed everything. To me i think that in person the National Guard A/C looked ridiculous.

i dont really care for the camo/green paint scheme dont really care for the purple engine lights either, i dont even like the fact that the engine is missing 2 cylinders, BUT i do really like those wheels.

The national guard uses this car, to solicit enlistment out of young american youth. Its a shame IMHO, but i got some more pics at HIN.



Heres the overflow for the killerglass.

Whoever did the digital camouflage got it wrong. The Army's ACU pattern is in green, grey, and tan. Even the MARPAT is not in that bright sh*t-yellow / tan. I kind of had this concept when I purchased the car but a quality paint job costs $7,000 so I left that behind in my wish-box. Nice mods though, not feeling that much hate as some other folks do.
