I guess its the suby guy in me. I am putting huge circle fogs in the circle inlets. My friend made acrylic covers for the headlight notches so itll be sleek. I'll post that soon. It looks pretty awesome!

I'll admit - I was a bit skeptical about this build at first glance, but after the latest photo post I am quite impressed. Keep up the good work.

That is great that you have access to a pro paint booth and a guy willing to show you how to paint...

I need that hook-up!

I'll elaborate more on the sides after I get them installed on my car but I gotta finish my car first!

Yeahh it really does help to have both lol. Im glad there were ppl nice enough in class to show me.

Oh and as for those acrylic covers for the headlights. Here they are! My friend made em for me and I think they look awesome. I plan on painting the inside of the headlight notch black and having this acrylic cover it all up. The acrylic is all wavy looking cuz it still has the protective plastic on it.

Well guys, gonna spray it today.

Everything is prepped!



On a side note, an fc has so many little things you have to spray off the car. Ill probably have to spray the car and then all the little stuff seperately.

Nice. I plan on putting either hellas or IPF's in the circles for huge fogs like the pic hypertek posted.

i vote in making your passenger side foglight hole into a massive turbo intake duct for your massive turbo.
