Looks great! Can we get some more pics from a distance? Cant really tell what all is going on since I can only see one part at a time.

Nice work.

I want to do something similar to that but out of fiberglass. I hate having a bumper cover and three piece rear valence. The fit and finish just is not to my standards, but I like what you have done

Thanks guys! The body kit is a McK plastic kit, i was going to make some re-pops but the cost was going to be so high. I still was tempted but decided against it. This is my first time doing any body work on a car, so far i think it looks pretty good. I just can't wait to have the whole car in primer to see what it will look like. I also have a small spoiler i have to do some work to and install. Someone asked for more pics? :)

Super nice work.I like it a lot.I would worry about not being able to remove the bumper cover if and when there's an accident,and if you se the front or rear will it break or flex?I wonder about all those little details .Mainly because I drive mine everywhere......a lot.

Vinnie, I drive mine everyday... when I was done with the front I waited to put primer on it for a few days to see if it would be alright if it sed. I didn't want to but i made the front se 3-4 times just to make sure it wouldn't crack and everything seems to be fine. I did use quite a bit bondo on it :)

Thanks, I'll have to look into that when body work starts, on the sport. :burnout:

Pics of the front :) I think I'll be finishing the sides this weekend and getting the spoiler mounted and everything in primer. Look for a new thread Sunday or Monday :)
