Thanks for all of your comments!

I did plan on entering it on COTM but I still need to take good pics of it, 'cause i feel i'm not worthy of even entering, since there are so many great tibs here on the site. I just changed some parts on it also, changed the tail-lights from c/f look to black ones, and also got new clear corners, i still have to paint them.

The sides skirts were'nt molded all the way smooth to the car 'cause i didnt want it that way, but there is basiclly no line that separates the skirts from the body. I'll take some close up pics tomorrow, Lord willing. Also the rear pods weren't molded all the way flush with the bumper, but it looks like it's one whole piece like i wanted. I also dont like the way how the rear pods just stop on the back, I'm planning on doing like a rear deffuser, dont know how to spell it, but the RX-7's have them, well on body kits i think. I was thinking of getting one from a RX-7 and modefieing to fit.

On the hood, were do you see the fitment flaw SOCKS? I've gone over it and havent seen anything, maybe were the hood meets with the bumper? If that, it's because of the bumper, they couldnt do a miracle with the freaken ED bumper. Anyways, I'll post some more pics tommorow.

My second goal right now is to save up and get a S/C with 10psi pulley, but for that i'll have to change, headers (since they still stock), clutch and flywheel, they are also still stock. So I have a long ways to go.

Lookin good man! Get some pics of those tail lights on there. Im sure they look better on your car than they did mine. It will match more because everything you have is black and it was contrasting the silver on my car. Keep up the good work! fing02.gif

I do believe the black tails look better with this color landshark16. It is berally noticeable that it's black, it kinda blends in with the other color.

Oh, and Rix, that's what i did, drove it everywhere since its my daily driver and all day long... i ended up popping a tire today going to my Auto Tech class... i had to put on the donnute, it looks ghey... well it's time for new tires, since mine were going bald already tongue.gif

Edit: sorry i didnt post up the pics of the skirts and all, but i didnt have my cam with me and when i got it it was already dark, so tomorrow for sure i'll post them up...

Here are the pics of the molding that they did with the kit. I prefer this than haveing it all shaved.

dude, adjust your hood latch. should get rid or atleast lessen the big gap between the hood and the bumper.

the rest looks wicked pretty though, congrats.

Lol, hey, well i did adjust my hood latch and some other stuff that SOCKS told me to do... I took the hood latch almost all the way up to get it tighter to the bumper, also lowered the rubber things on the car that look like springs but in rubber, dont know what they are called, they sit on the edges of the bottom of the hood, they have to be twisted to be lowered or to get higher. Anyways I adjusted those also, but it looks like nothing changed, the only thing that changed was my freaken locking hood pins, I couldnt get them aligned again, so i just bought some sparco hood pins.

The other thing that SOCKS told me to do is get the weather strip that goes between hood and bumper, I have one on there but it's all bended and such so I'm just gonna get that new, maybe put double so it will cover the small space in between there is now.

BTW thanks for the replay.

wait, hood latch up?

you need to move it down. grab some upclose shots of the front of the hood and we can probably offer some more advice.

Just loosen the bolts on the hood hinges & bring the whole hood forward by a few mm, then re-tighten the bolts. That would fix the gap issue & hopefully will still keep the hood aligned with everything else.
