Thats the great thing about this life..... You can do whatever you want/like/ see as desirable... And thats all that matters... Opinion is subjective..

Nice work Jason! im glad this is all coming together the way you like it.

the car looks good, the molded in stuff looks disappointing... disappointing in the fact that you spent countless hours burning a bridge with your car, you cant go back and change something performance oriented. Shoulda molded in the hood too while your at it.

........ i keep hearing this opinion that molded body kits are "ricey" or undesirable... Can someone please elaborate.. IMO it seems that most folks dont like them, because in theory it makes a permanent change that is un-reversible. This seems like an interesting topic.. lets discuss it!

As a body work guy.. Tooshort has the option to do almost anything. Hypothetically, say he gets in a wreck ( not totaled, but say the front bumper is toast) Why cant he just mold a new one on? Whats stopping him from deciding that he wants a diff rear bumper? he could cut that one off.. and mold a new one on.. This work isn't permanent if he doesn't want it to be.

Now aesthetically.. Opinion is opinion, and every one has one and is entitled to it.... I get it if you just dont like the body lines.. or the overfenders.. thats subjective. But why is there this dark curse on the molded body kit as this.. "never going back" idea.. ****, he could rip all that crap off an go back to stock! Or close to it anyway ( i realize the side skirts could pose a problem, seaming with the fenders etc.. but thats the fun of body work! the sky is the limit!

discuss.....

Is the hood aftermarket, or a stock T2 molded? Looks great!

You should have made a folding one-piece front end ala Dodge Viper, just to shut the rest of these fruitcakes up...



...or not.



Nice wheels.

nice work man i realy like it.

as to the earlyer questyion of whats wrong with getting rid of he molding. the molding is there to provied a break in the body and acts as a extra body line if you as me much better with it. but still not my car so i wont bash him for doing it.

Only a ideyot would mold a hood on to his car....Maybe if his car had a perfect engine that needed no maintanence(spelling) and used the oh so great Mobil One motor oil, then he would????Or would he?

Like this guy said, its his car and nothing is "permanent" only if he want it to be. You dont go around bashing someones hard work because your car isnt what his is, or could be. My car is all molded except for the "hood" and the front bumper. Infact my custom tailights are molded to the car and I actualy just finished doing this, and now Im thinking of scrapping the idea and going with something different. Not to permanent is it? Its not a "Bridge Burned" untill I think it is.

Anyway excuse my foul mouth, but ther are some ****** Haterzz in this place.
TOO SHORT, I got yo back Dawg........................Way Back,lol...
