Ok, here is the ride,

New things done were:

03 front bumper conversion
Black turn signals
blacked out rear third brake light
molded in the rear kit and sides skirts were redone...
and I left the spoiler off(had it sprayed just in case I feel the urge to put it back on.

I'm almost done with fiberglassing the headliner, I'll post pics of that prolly next week..so

Bring on the criticism

It doesnt look bad. I think dual exhaust tips would really help the rear look. Are you still planning on the front lip? What's with the red tip?

*nods*

I know you had asked before about a ww lip or a ss lip in the photoshop forum. Are you still planning on it?

Oh also, Have you thought about painting the mesh in your rear bumper black?

yeah, i still want to get the front lip, prolly be a wing west tho, I have no idea as to when tho, I have so many birthdays and vacation coming up, and with what i just spent getting the damn car out, it maybe winter before I get a front lip.

well, no and yes, I thought about it, but I hate black cars with black mesh, just doesn't look right, there's no contrast between the paint, and if you're going to paint it black, why the hell would you even put it in there..i mean, mesh grill is for the purpose of looks, and black on black is just not my thing. that was the deal with the red tip muffler, but thats a whole other story.

I think i'm going to do billet grill in the front, and I'm still debating about foglights, I bought some 7 series 4'' with the angel eye in them, but they don't sit right. I was thinking of mesh grilling the whole front along with the foglight holes, that way, I won't block any air passage to the CAI...

I don't know, so many decisions, to much time. :confused:

From what I can tell, they did a good job. The back bumper is different, but I think you pulled it off well.

I've never been a fan of those sideskirts as they look completely out of place with the grooves on the OEM doors. It always looks liek the sideskirt is trying to do one design and the door is doing something else.

If you REALLY wanna be creative, get rid of the grooves on your door and continue the lines from the fake vent on the sideskirt along the side of the car so they match up. If you do that, and gradually fade out the height of the line, it would look pretty interesting and really make the sides look as if they were meant to be on the car.

(Not sure if you can visualize what I mean) but either way, great job!! (To bad you already did the 03 conversion, I would think the Tracer2 front would look best with your theme. I think the WW front lip on what you have going on would be to subtle.

Not too bad. It would look a ton better, IMO, with the kit finished off, but you already plan on doing that. Thus, you have a pretty nice and clean 3G. Good work!

Sorry guys, I've been gone for a couple of days.

If you REALLY wanna be creative, get rid of the grooves on your door and continue the lines from the fake vent on the sideskirt along the side of the car so they match up.

I know exactly what you're talkinga bout, but I love the lines on the side of the door..it makes it look more aggressive. to be honest, I don't want to go through putting this car in the body shop ever again.. I know your work cost alot more than mine, 1100 bucks...500 of it outta my pocket..really it was more like 800 out of my pocket by the time i got my bumper and foglights and what not.
Looks pretty good. The front looks a little naked without a grille kit or fogs. But overall I like it.
I bought the 7series angel eye foglights, but they won't fit right, I've gotta search the forums for a foglighting fix..

sweet looking car Stokes, never seen that rear bumper before but it looks good on your black car what tire size are your rims wrapped around in
I have 225/40/18 with tannabe gf210 springs..

yah, my money is a lot shorter as of now..so I'll be getting things finished up after the first of the year prolly. I really want that billet grill for the front..and WW lip, but I'm still undecided, so by the time I get some more cash, I'll have it all planned out. Thanks a lot for all the feedback guys, I'll def keep it looking good this time.

the photoshop looks really good, however, it would go better with an aftermarket front bumper instead of the 03+lip kit.
