All criticism aside, it does look good. But saying it is something it ain't is no different than slapping an ///M badge on it.
Whose talking about racing?




Btw that X on the picture has 4.4i badges..

has the great looks of the 4.8is without the 4.8is air suspnsion issues.

It looks good.

Lets not pick on or read too much into the words that are used to title a thread... it is just a bunch of tubes (internet) people. )

Moth,
Spot on man, well said.
To the owner, well done. Looks great.
To dsm,
Maybe instead of "Full conversion on a 4.4i" just "4.8is spoiler upgrade" would've suffised. Well found in any case, thanks for sharing.

This sort of pic helps to keep my interest level up on doing this 'upgrade' (on my 3.0i), just gotta find the coin to do it, as it's bloody expensive out here in Aust.

Looks great - I'm looking to do it. How did you go about parts and how much did it end up costing???
