theres still about 5-10 hours or more of body work that needs to be done, along with sanding but this is what my car looked like right before i left. i am really liking the look of it better then i thought i would.

the major things that need to be done are matching up the front flares, finishing the eyelines, and molding my drivers rear pod. i also need to close up the spoiler holes.

heres a few snapshots i had my mom take of the car. unfortunately they didn't take pics of it covered with 10" of snow.

It looks really mean man. That first angle makes it look amazing. If it was painted that first shot would be a definite background.

thanx. once i get it down here, ill probably be painting it. i am probably going to paint it in a satin finish so no clear coat. i know 90% of people wont like it, but it will be different.

Wow,
I didn't expect it to turn out that hot!


the front fenders still look unfinished, but I see where you're going, and like it.

I'm glad you've decided to go spoiler-less. MUCH cleaner.



as for the satin color, I love the idea, annd played with it myself.

Be sure to get a flat top coat, and not leave it just like that. Without a top coat it will be impossible to keep clean, and it will absord water, damaging your metal in the future.
You know that tere are special top coats for that effect, right?

Couple of questions:

Leaving it without a spoiler?
Keeping the rear wiper?
Keeping the hood as is?
