Pics Request: Bomex Body Kit
Anyone have the Bomex body kit?
I have seen pics of this one on this website.
Just wondering what it would look like with S4 tails and deleted/filled body moldings and everything in a dark metallic gray.
Pictures???? Photoshops???
Thanks.

Search for pics of my car.
I've done a crap load of changes to the kit, mostly working in the exact opposite direction you're asking about. I removed the S5 trim portions on the side skirts, added a headlamp conversion to the front bumper....
I'm currently adding the S4 mouldings ONTO the front and rear bumpers and I'll be going back to S4 tails to complete my theme on the car. When its done this time in the spring it will ahve black S4 mouldings all the way around on the kit.
EDIT: here's a couple shots

This winter will probably be the last time the car will ever see snow, so I am wanting to go ahead and put some money on her this coming spring.

I have some other mods in mind to go with the kit, but not sure how to go about it yet. I have never seen it attempted before and I am not sure how to go about it. It will require a whole lot of fabrication to draw the picture from my head to reality.
P.S. I want your plates! lol'ed

Here is my idea...
Fill in the top fenders, doors and rear quarters to a uniform curve.
Starting at the bottom horizontal crease edge going upwards vertically ending in a tight radius bend at the top crease.
I combination with the Bomex kit, this would just look really awesome.
The reason I want to do this is because of the car's illusion of a much smaller "greenhouse" after the modification.
This would also make it look lower and wider. I think this would also modernize the look of the FC.
The problems arising are flush mounting of the door handles and gas door and the door hinge vertical seam area might need more work to allow normal door operation without changing the with of the line.
Let me know what you think.
This pic enables you to see a rough draft of the idea.
BTW, this is an old pic from last winter after a 1500km drive home so I do realize it needs a bath.
