Amazing restoration!
But theres a large gap on the side of the hood and fenders.
Also did you get the crumple zones fixed to original spec metal?
Getting into a frontal accident can be fatal if the original crumple zones was replaced un professionally.

yea i did put the bottom tray on that was just the pics of before i did....well i bought the car for about 7k(wrecked) and ended up paying around 15k or so (with the CF and other aftermarket things) also the car had 3k miles when i bought it... so low miles and half price
i figured i did good

I thiknk you need to get the oil cooler screens, so you don't damage them and the undertray was already mentioned. Oh yeah, next time just click on the image code in photobucket and just paste it in your post, much better.

haha naw ur eyes are good. i removed them and sanded them down because i didnt like the crappy plastic finish look...and i painted them with a glossy black. its REALLY easy to do and very cheap if you want to add that different little look. if someone wants the dui for it i could give u that...its really easy

It really is a sharp looking contrast. Not worth a dui tho! lol.
Mine's a BB, so I wouldn't change it. But it really is a nice way to add & match up some black in non black cars.

Mad props to fixing it yourself. you have to be proud. Car looks great and seeing the final product on a photoshoot with a DSLR camera and controlled lighting will be amazing.
