Homemade body kit update
#2
Very cool, Is this an adapted kit, or all done yourself??
I really like the front end and the skirts.... Im on the fence about the fenders tho, only thing is the radius looks a bit small for the wheels, though I say this solely as constructive criticism . I definately have to give you props man, most people wouldnt even attempt such a thing, you made it look prety damn good!!
Good work, keep it up and show us a picture once you throw some color on it!

The kit is all from scratch. I could open the fenders a bit, it's actually kind of nice to drive it awhile to see if I want any changes before I paint it.

the only thing I would sugest before you get it painted is to as the other guy sead cut the fenders open a little more and in the back I would look into making the transition from the body to the flare a little less abrupt give it more of the flow with the body instead of the just spaed on there look but again its your car and as I say what ever rocks your boat.

I'll look for pictures of the different back styles I tryed. I must have pissed someone off somehow because I got a virus in my computer and lost a bunch of stuff, thats the only reason I can figure out for writing those things. Thanks all for the comments and feedback. The first time I posted the car in progress someone suggested fog lights and I'm still thinking about that as well.
