Cool. Must feel great to see the progress.

I like everything except that front bumper. In my opinion, it looks too tall. Maybe once it's done, it won't look so out of place.

Keep up the good work.

looks pretty darn good! my only problem is the front bumper, as dexter said, it looks too tall. I also think it makes the front wheels look sunken in. Awesome progress though, i love watching this thread

well it is another weekend and we done great progress, ..and yes i was finally working on my car...well not as hard as ICKYIcky suggested to put, xpanding foam, so the 1/4 panels don't have the howl effect, and to support the 1/4 panels better.while i was trying to cut pieces of the reinforcement, and took the spoiler out, icky was makin the .....GAS door flush with the 1/4 panel......wooohooooowell, i was helping icky for 4 hrs, but icky was working on my car for 8hrs...but we took the 3rd break light of the spoiler, gas door flush, fix the rear bumper, took fenders and hood off, since fitment is not quite what i xpected, and i can't let you guys don't......yes. i did a terreble thing to a limeted edision vert..but the outcome will be like a phoenixafter 8hrs ICKY, BOB AND I, started cleaning up to go home, and it was ICkys B-DAY...damn i sucktill then my friends, be safe and goodluckNEXT EPISODEmaking the front end Fit!!

well, since there are already those rectangular holes, I think puttin those lights in may be overkill, I dunno for sure I'd have to see a mock up. have you thought about putting signals in the rectanlge holes?

you know, now That I look at it, if its angled and positioned properly, it should look fine. it has to agree with the vents underneath it and the rectangle vents. it should look cool now that I picture it
