I posted a thread a while back when I first purchased my gallardo. Link - http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?1107581-Lambo-Upgrade

I really wanted a 09+ 6 speed gallardo but there's only about 59 of those made and none of them were for sale. My only option was to either wait for one to become available or pick up an older 6 speed car and give it a face lift. I ended up getting a good deal on a nice 06 6 speed G and had money left over in my budget to do plenty more to it. Well the face lift is done and here's the end result.

Here's the some pics of how the car looked when it was purchased and how it came out after the face lift.

It came as I had envisioned it. I'm now working on the interior/engine bay carbon pieces. Will post more pics as things go in...

Looks good. I have a tt r8 v10 and you are tempting me to post updated pics in a new thread.

Love how it looks now. I agree on how sweet that gated shifter is. Gotta love Lambos! How much do you drive it?

siiick. deff looks 2x better imo. is there a company that makes good replicas or is it from lamborghini?

The front bumper is after market with the bottom part in carbon, the rear conversion is mostly factory with the exception of the carbon LP Superleggera diffuser. The full conversion was done by Renown Autosports in Irvine, CA.

I honestly have not had time to drive it much, it has spent more time in shops than at home. There's a few other things left to do, I do plan on driving it more once I'm done everything that I want to it.

Sweet ride :coolman: what was the last year a lambo was available with a manual shifter?

No, they made around 59 manuals in the new LP body style but none were for sale when I was looking. The other option was 06-08 as 04-05 had a lot of issues. My goal was an 08 but I came across a really good deal on this 06 which I could not pass up. The 3 pedal cars will go up in value because of their rarity so I plan on hang onto it for a few years.

Looks great - that was my favorite mod on my VI Pre-LP as well.

Nice, what else have you done to your car?
