  1. I think they're doing this to get more money out of you. Car looks great without it.
  2. So I decided to do a little "proof of concept" and experiment plasti-dipping a portion of the 02 rear bumper to replicate the LP rear without spending the insane amount of money converting it over. For those that don't know, plastidip comes in a spray can and adheres to anything while being super easy to remove, like a layer of skin. So perfect to test and undo something if you don't like it. As long as you aren't too rough with it, it'll also last a long time. Here's an example of how it peels off: I decided to go this route before opting to vinyl wrap it because I wanted to make sure it doesn't look like shit. For reference, here is the look we are going for: Note the triangulation in the corners and the fact that the black diffuser portion begins at the mid-exhaust point where the bumper starts to angle inward: Here is where many owners and wrap shops get this wrong. They cover the whole rear section. This is WRONG: Began masking it off with my buddy: More progress: Ready to be dipped: One half done: Note the triangulation: Final result: IMO came out sexier than I thought. There are no imperfections, no cracks in the lines, everything is PERFECT. Well worth the 2+ hours of prep and 15 mins it took to spray. To top it off, also did a LP gauge face conversion from Lockwood International in the UK and did LP670 custom mats from a local amazing upholstery company, Exoticare: If the plastidip holds up, I won't touch it, but if it deteriorates, I'll have someone wrap it in vinyl. Overall it came out exceeding my expectations!
  3. Also, I forgot to add - the idle is rock solid now as well. Previously it used to fluctuate +/-150rpm, now it's +/-20rpm.
  4. Yes I installed all 12 - wouldn't make sense to only partially replace them. They didn't look AS oxidized as some of his, but they were pretty beat to shit.
  5. I just had the pleasure of installing these in the car and I am impressed. Overall the car is smoother, more refined, more "modern" feeling. It no longer has the rough spots in the rpm it usually had down low. The startup is also very crisp and clear. This is a must for any 02-04 lambo still using the shitty MM coilpacks.
  6. That's a crazy options list! How many root canals does it take to cover the cf options? LOL Can't wait to see the complete pics!
  7. Ha, I remember this on the news. Can't believe it's the same car. Surprised it's actually back together, but I sure as hell wouldn't touch it with a 10-ft pole.

  9. Here's my car with the RWD conversion... Best mod you can do to the car.
  10. So... it's a white aventador with a shitty paint (maybe even wrap) job?
  11. wtf is with this retarded "stance" and vintage wheel shit lately? wheels look like shit and the owner's successfully made a 200k exotic look like a riced out civic
  12. Is that a carbon murci door I see tucked away in this pic? Details/price?
  13. I wasn't 100% sure whether the 8-pistons started in 04 or 05. For the 05+, the rears are 4-piston, but the earlier murc's have a smaller diameter rotor.
