JaviDrama · 08-10-2019, 10:11 AM

This is my build. First pic is stock. 2nd is wheel swap(Niche M224s in 22”). Then tinted windows and M performance grill, last is VTF lowering springs and links.

Next up will be putting a renegade body kit on pics to come. Currently in the shop getting that done.

Looks great 👍🏽 how does the vtf ride ? Did you remove the bump stops or replace with shorter ones ?

yewlock · 08-10-2019, 11:05 PM

Congrats. Look great. Can't wait to see the renegade body kit on

Kind of clean to see a smoker on a balcony in Italy...

Replaced with shorter ones. At first it was rough and took getting used to. Took it on a road trip to Croatia and springs settled. Now the ride isn't bad, definitely not as good as stock, but i can live with it.

Its great. Once you find a good butcher shop everything comes out great. The hardest part is finding a place to buy everything you need. They don't really have one stop shops. They're big on natural everything so it may not be as big, but definitely tender and juicy and using the right rub makes it worth the time it takes to smoke it. Ill probably make some for labor day weekend if i don't go out of town.

Yeah. Been living here for just over 3 years now. Love it so far.

r33_RGSport · 08-13-2019, 01:28 PM

Looks good.

JaviDrama · 11-03-2019, 06:28 AM

Update test fitting and final changes complete. Officially at paint. Taking longer than I would of wanted but the shop doing all the work are perfectionists. So at least I know it’ll be done right.

Mega-Ken · 11-03-2019, 12:43 PM

Nice can’t wait for the end product.

JaviDrama · 12-29-2019, 03:44 PM

Taking a lot longer than anticipated, but it’s coming out great. Will post some better pictures and maybe a video when it’s all done.

The Libertine · 12-29-2019, 09:24 PM

Wow! Looking forward to the end result!

texastuna · 12-30-2019, 06:32 PM

I’ll have to look at shipping restrictions and price. But yeah I’ll be selling them. And I’ll have to see what all I get back from the shop.

JaviDrama · 01-30-2020, 02:09 PM

going to end up selling the parts local in italy to avoid shipping and italians paying in euro is way better than USD.

but here are some updated pics. and hopefully a video. ill post natural lighting pics down the road.

That's a wicked bumper. I think we need a pic from farther away to appreciate the total look of it.

Looks like a cartoon car... Quel mascalzone!
