    The only thing that I really didn't like about your car before was the awkward looking rear fitment, and it looks like that's getting sorted pretty well. Stoked to see this finished, and props for using such a different car in the first place.

    When you say you don't have a budget to keep it clean, that just doesn't make sense to me. Don't spend money on stickers and other nonsense and presto chango you'll have more of a budget for big things. Sorry man, I'm just really not feeling it. There's so much going on and it really detracts from the overall look
    you don't have to apologize for not liking my car. the front will be done right soon, just like everything else is coming together. but the dangly and obnoxious things like my camber, tow ring, stickers,netc, are not going anywhere. i'm finally making decent money and i'm literally spending all of it on this car. but again, don't be sorry. and mostly don't get mad :P

    Fiberglass doesn't stick to tin foil....... and it will keep your tires and rims looking clean......... the key is having the car at full drop..... or no suspension and use a jack to raise the tires into the fenders
    very cool idea. i managed to do it without glass, and man did it come out sick. i'm finally done now, just gotta get it to the body shop saturday to get sprayed. the pictures you see were sorta rough, i actually re-did everything and made it super clean. it looks professional and done right. i really impressed myself with how good this came out.

My only complaint is that it's not clean. I know that's the look you want, but it could be heaps better by taking off half the dangly bits and stickers. I like the work you've put into it though, keep posting so I can continue to enjoy what you're doing.



    Edit: A car can have character without looking like shit. Not that yours does, but I'm just saying.

    thanks man. i was actually not too satisfied with how it came out, so i put more filler on it and got it baby bottom smooth. it looks really professional now, and i hope whoever i let paint this thing can do a nice job. i'm seriously impressed by myself. i didn't think it was going to come out this good.

    been having a problem with this...stopped the rubbing for now with an angled grinder :



    a man with the right tools can get the job done (and being friends with people that can blend over a prepped panel phewie!)
    after this i'm gonna lose a little camber and the poke will be intense but the more subtle camber and extremely pulled/flattened fenders should make it look still agressive just not as clownish.
