It's looking really good man. Awesome work so far.

Is it just me or are those eyelids not sitting flush with the lights?

ok since the last post i put in several hours on my front bumper, and took off the lambos, and hooked up the new door popper kit, fixed my shifter cable problem, grinded down the pinch weld a little where the front wheel was hitting on big bumps, worked on my passanger side fender, hooked up new HID kit and aimed them, emptyed my trunk, windexed my front window in and outside. took the 5mm spacers from the rear and put them in the front and replaced the back ones with 8mm. cleaned and re 3med the eyelids so there on now. took off the underglow kit. so id say iv been somewhat bizzy since the last post.
here are some pics.

this picture is showing when u lower your car this low you have to do some cutting and grinding took off about 1/8 of an inch sanded smooth and sprayed it so it wont rust. Image

like i said took off the lambos (for sale)
Image

and now for the bumper. what i did this time around was finish fiberglassing around the side vents, and molded the rest of the fender flares in. and bondoglassed all of that, and put the first layer of bodyfiller on. id say another 10 hours and it will be ready for primar.
