my progress project #2
ive got about 10 hours in this right now. i have the wing sanded and ready to be primered. the front bumper has been cooked and sanded and ready to be primered. the nose piece has had the ducts cut out and sanded and ready to be primered.
my next part will be to take off the side skirts and sand them down and get rid of all them scratches
here are also some pics after i washed my car...

more pics......
i used dremmel sand paper things to cut out the ducts...those things melted it and sent spider web looking things everywhere... it looked pretty cool
anyways, i just put it on to see what it looks like. the top part isnt exactly sitting flush with the hood, and it is about a quarter of an inch shorter than the stock one. i also need the mouldings for the top and bottom of the nose piece because none came on the current one...anyone have some extras?

nah...i think im gonna go with two tone
cherry red above the headlight all the way around and then black pearl headlights and below. or maybe a big black racing stripe down the middle....NOT
but you can definately tell that the body kit was painted after the rest of the body in the first pics. why is the rear of my car so low? and the front not so much

I would man if it wasn't so far. I got a guy here I think Im going to use. Im going to have my rear wiper and antenna shaved as well as the rock guard. Everyone says he does good work and I have seen his paint. Looks top notch. Im still keeping my eyes open though.

umm. this is how i worked the resin. gave the wing to my mentor and he opened up the crack and poured the resin in. then sealed it, squeezed it together till it dried, and then i sanded down the excess resin.
thanks nka. ive got an eibach kit that i would like to get on in the next century to make it a little lower and hopefully even in front and back
