Every year, we open up the chance for our whole community to participate in a completely Virtual Car Show. Last year, amidst the pandemic, it was one of the few, if only, events many of us had a chance to enter. This year, while we’re heading back to normality, we’re still going to bring you [...]
The new G80/G82 platform is quite polarizing, to say the least. One of the most common requests we’ve received since its release is to create a front-end conversion kit. Naturally, since many of our upgrades and retrofits are ideas that you, the community, express a need for, we listened and feel that our latest [...]
