im always wonder why people mold their body kits in...once they start to crack it looks terrible and if you need to the the bumper off you are screwed. is that deltreezen's front bumper and light kit?

Looks like the headlights are broken in the 5th picture

im not molding the front, because that is obviously gonna come off more than once. i mold the sides and back because i like the clean lines and if it cracks, big deal i can redo it. and yea i was never a fan of pop up lights which is why i chose to go with this kit. although i must admit the fitment of the front bumper was horrible.

hahaha everyone says that when someone purposely put their headlights like that

if you start modding your car your going to start hating life with the molded kit. but if you dont do anything, guess it could be ok.

I think your car looked nice before... I always thought the Dz kit looked a little like a stepped on frog or something.. Cool that you are putting that much $ into the car, just interesting to me that even though you have a pretty sweet engine setup you feel the need to aggressivley modify the outside.

To each thier own, I personally like the kits that accent the cars original intent, not try to transform it into something else.. Looks like a tiburon front end on a 7 rear..

Cool project though...

i liked the stock body too, but ive always been the kinna person who tries to be different, so when i saw this kit it caught my attention and i even waited 2 yrs for the kit to actually be made and sent to me. ive also never really been a fan of pop up lights so i kinna killed 2 birds with one stone. thanks for the comments tho.

ok cool justt one recmondation if u dont mind is to use expanding foam or something where its molded in under carriage. It reduce vibrations and twisting from the molds cuasin it to crack or seperate. Last think u need is to resand the panel back down and have redo the body and molds.
