Before & After Pics Thread

I'm extremely surprised there isn't a thread like this already, yes there are build threads, which I love, but going through 14 plus pages to see results is a bit tedious if your just looking for inspiration. So please keep it on topic, before (when you purchased your FC, or started building it) and what it looks like now(doesn't have to be done, we all know; with projects there is no done), feel free to post a in progress or mid progress picture as well, just don't post up the whole build, just summarized.

I think this will be cool to see how many of us transformed their cars.

Thanks! I didn't have to cut much at all just widen a factory cut out on one side and then made some brackets from flat steel that I bolted where the tow hooks would normally bolt up to. they actually work pretty well and dont block much airflow for the radiator.
