Looks way better. Great choice.

**Pown** · 03-21-2015, 10:36 AM

Can i fuk ur car

**GnarlySheen** · 03-21-2015, 10:38 AM

It actually looks really good but the car now has that look that something is " off " about it and I wouldnt be able to pinpoint it if this thread wasnt about the facelift.

How much did the new bumper cost?

**everglide123** · 03-21-2015, 10:41 AM

OP, how easy is it to get quality girls with a lambo?

I totally get what you are saying man. Its something you always deal with when you mod a car. The pearl color always acts strange on camera in different lighting and angles. If you look at the second pic, my door looks photo shopped on LOL

I try to keep things subtle but I really do understand your "off" comment and strive for less of that and more modernizing the car while adhering to its lines

The bumper and install for me was about $5k but I never buy things list. Always find an opportunity to save $$. Most people pay ~$12k to buy and install the bumper.

It didnt come painted, they had to match the pearl.....thats a tough thing to do and impossible to ever get it 100% but I think its pretty darn close. These guys are pros

No it isn't... any paint shop should be able to do this or they gtfo (used to work in a shop)

Pics on the inside so we know it's yours...

also: I don't agree with moding lambos, ever. but it doesn't look bad and the fitment is very clean, good job on keeping things looking factory, I admire that and your choice in cars.... mad jelly

Its pretty easy if you are not a douche.
I am married so I dont partake. But I have had women come up to me to chat, asked if I was single, flirt etc at all sorts of places. I never take the car out to the bar, club, etc but imagine it would be a piece of cake picking up women if I did and were not married.

**Vayne** · 03-21-2015, 10:46 AM

Only thing I noticed is black wheels like everyone else on the street.

**HMFIC_BROWSIN** · 03-21-2015, 10:46 AM

I never say this - but that actually looks better than the original.

Its mine, I wouldnt fraud....especially with an old lambo
I'll take your word on the paint match as I am not expert. I do know however that making the bumper fit right and adhere to the factory gaps is tough.
Ive seen a ton of after market lambo bumper installs that just look horrendous.

Like this one: the gap is very subtle but that little bit catches my eye everytime. Can you guys see that too or is it just me?

It looks as clean as it can get for a bumper mod, thats for sure. When are you taking that beast to get UGR TT modded? :P

damn, after seeing your profile pic and lambo, I imaged you as the typical club/bar image-obsessed roided meatheat, who drives and parks his lambo (bought on credit) in front of the club's VIP queue to get girls & attention. Ahah but I guess I'm totally wrong. Btw the black wheels makes ur car look expensive, all the russian mafia/oligarch cars have those.

**Fozzy13** · 03-21-2015, 10:49 AM

orange car looks better

The hood gap here is noticeable. Also the inconsistent gap between the side of the bumper and the quarter panel doesn't look great (farther apart towards the front, closer together at the wheel well).

Where are you in Texas? Let's be friends so I can borrow your cars every once in a while

I'll let you take the Corolla for a spin too.

ETA: My father in law just got his Hellcat delivered. Looks like this. Hope he lets me drive it next time I visit. He still hasn't let me drive his GT500. Let me take one of his older vipers out though.

**hardenedbrah** · 03-21-2015, 10:53 AM

gorgeous car. Would look way better in black though.

I actually take that as a compliment for some crazy reason

Ive slimmed down some from my avi (have kids now and lift lighter as my back is always stiff)
Never done roids
Not the one to go to the club to try to show off but I do drink.
I'm also of the firm belief that there are good ways and bad ways to use credit...

My friends made up a term that is hilarious. They call me "slow pimpin"
At first glance you would look at me and think I was a bum. I wear t shirts, vans, jeans to grab a drink with my friends. Unless you notice my watch you would seriously think I am a college student or bum. Its funny sometimes when "that guy" at the bar comes up to you and tries to talk about money...give advice on how to make it unsolicited.....and proceeds to talk about his rolex or breitling

Thats next

I posted a thread a short while ago about a failed business I had to quit on early this year.
As soon as one of the three I have in the works now start generating positive cash flow it will be my "reward" to myself

**fnck** · 03-21-2015, 10:58 AM

Don't break your arm jerking yourself off, OP.

Slow pimpin is the way to go. Many people confuse 'looking rich' with 'being rich', they think that if they dress up, drive a rich man's car, and smoke cigars, that they are rich, they just end up chasing the illusion of wealth. I remember back one day in high-school, a kid showed up with a t-shirt with a massive cringy '*****' logo on the front (thinking he'll look cool & rich). He was laughed at so hard that he never showed up with a similar t-shirt again.

Quality shoes, watch and phone are the most important pieces, the rest doesn't really matter.

**LieutenantGains** · 03-21-2015, 11:12 AM

Nice OP, strong inspiration to make it.

**Vladdzhu** · 03-21-2015, 11:12 AM
