It looks like the hood doesn't close all the way. What gives? Otherwise, looks pretty good.

I was wondering using a dremel or something would be easier to custom cut the fenders and hood if they were fiberglass? would it be easier to cut fiberglass and fabricate rather then the metal? I was thinking you cut the fiberglass parts to fit the headlights, then go back add fiberglass, bondo, sand it to make the edges look smooth again so that the conversion would look clean.

Back when i did the conversion... what fiberglass parts? i recommend metal actually for the hood, i dont like my fiberglass one. and i still have metal fenders. you couldnt really find fiberglass fenders in 03. just carbon hoods for the most part.

and shally, what actual r33? oh ****... hmmmm.... maybe later in 09 when i have a job makin some good bank... screw it, im savin for the s16..... i want to drift that when it comes out... im just gonna destroy it and cant wait
