thanks guys going as fast as i can on this thing. bodywork is plentiful lol. and cant really update too much on bodywork other than some pix of the front and rear bumpers.

got the front bumper glued to the xtreme tuner kit and will start to plastic weld it and smooth out the grill area.




glued the rear bumper and rear lip of the tuner kit and started molding the two together since this was the part that broke when i got rearended back in 07. hence the reason i have two kits

Matts right nothing wrong with the coupe Brad got rearended way back in 07 the week i was going to ITB in indy and all it did was crack the rear lip. so insurance bought another xtreme tuner kit i was luckily able to get off ebay and i just used the new rear lip and never fixed the old one until now hope that clears up any issues. and heres what happend to the rear lip

Yep. The ducts are useless and IMO the WW Evo hoods look better than VIS Evo hoods. I'd also hate to say it cuz these are the ideas for my car whenever it sees paint, but evil eyes would look tits too. That's actually the idea for my cav, EVO hood with evil eyes and shaved NACA ducts.
