don't know really, maybe 3 or 4 months, he really doesn't give me a time and I'm in no hurry(more time on car=more time to come up with the $$)

I think the organic shape of the bodykit and front bumper would flow better with fixed headlights, or stock floppy lights -> not the ones you have photoshopped on there. It's not exactly my taste, but the car does look really good.

it's funny that you said all that, I think I'm going with the stock flip ups for now, the other lights(super made) were going to be a pain to make legal, so for now, thats what it is!if anyone wants the super made ones, make me a offer

here is a pic of him making the the under part of the hood more sturdy, there was a few waves in the hood, and inorder to get those out, he had to make it stiffer so he could block sand and what not

No, i am not saying it's a Porshce knock-off. But i still do not dig it. It just does not look right. I love the original 240sx's line's, but not hat much modified. Anyways, the progress is great, keep it up!

he got the rear diffuser on, it's a tad smaller then i was hoping but I like it. the plate cover is only for mock-up, I'm getting the same one, minus the girl(I know he put that on there as a joke, Good one Gary..lol) it has a built on light, so he doesn't have to fab one up.

I like it's integration a lot, but I agree that it's on the small side, I think about 2- 2 1/2" more in each direction would be stellar!

I wish it was that simple but since thats cf, I can't make it any wider. the only other big custom work he's got left is fabbing me a wing and redoing the front bumper to make it look more aggrasive. he wants to glass the back bumper together with the rear fender and back of the car, I'm still not sure if I want to do that, if you look at the last pics, you can see a small gap between the back bumper and light panel. here's a pic of someone with this kit that did do it, but I'm still not sure if I like it(I hate the supra lights) I had the right to use my sky tails, cause I have a RB..lol

Yeah, I know you couldn't lengthen it, I was just commenting.

I don't really like the molding of the bumper, but an unever and/or abnormally large gap would look worse...

I'm loving this car more and more every time you update. I say no to glassing that area.

Looking good man... keep up the good (hired) work. Oh yeah, the license plate holder might have to go.

the problem with using so much fiberglass is apparent on that guy's car with the supra tails... its all one amorphous blob. the diffuser kinda lends some contrast to the whole thing making it lok better, but still... some kinf of panel that encases the tails could only help at this point.
