Very cool... Ever since I parked next to a silver Porsche when getting my tires changed, I've wondered what an FD would look like with Porsche (or Audi) silver... it's so much nicer that the mazda silver.... it made my car look like it had a brown hue.

Nice car.

Front looks great. Really inspiring me to get moving with my project. Did you find any fitment problems in terms of lining up with the fenders? Did it leave a slight gap?

It fits pretty good. There is a very minor gap by the fender. I'm going to see if the body shop can fit it better.

Actually, I think this is the pettit front end? If so, it would be fiberglass. Nice either way tho...

It's the stock 99 bumper with the plate removed. If I remember correctly Ihor said it took 2 attempts to get it right. The end result looks very nice in person.
