My FD after the surgery

Well, here are some pics of my FD after the body work was complete.

FEED Front
FEED CF Sides
RE-A CF Diffuser
KS CF Hood

All parts are made by Chuck at Rotary Extreme except the KS hood.

I think the car came out looking pretty good....but I do need to lower it some, need to go buy a new suspension. She is riding on 17x8(f) and 17x9(r) 5Zigen FN01R-c.

Well, here she is.

Scott

Sorry, having a hard time inserting pics. I will get them....just go to figure out how.

I'm not a big fan of the sides of the front bumper, but everything else flows together nicely. Have you thought about removing the rear spoiler?

Nice car it was put together very good. Why remove the spoiler? I like your car as it is. I don't know but I can just picture your car with a C-West sleek headlight kit.

I love the way the side skirts and r.diffuser look together. Tame look in general, but very nice. What percent tint are your windows and hatch? Do you have a full rear shot of the car?

Car looks great!

That thing would look even more amazing with a 99spec rear spoiler, IMO.

The car will be at the Revolution.

My tint is 20% sides and back.

I am only going to lower it down about an inch...not trying to tuck tires...just get rid of a little fender gap.

I will post some more pics of the diffuser later on tonight.

Thanks for the compliments....I am very happy with how it came out.

Scott

The parts cost me about $2350 for the hood, front bumper, side skirts, rear diffuser, and the 99 spec lights. Then the body work to get the front bumper painted, have the front bumper, sideskirts, and the rear diffuser installed, as well as having the rear bumper repainted due to a crack I had in it cost me another $750. So for body work alone, I have a little over $3100 in it. Then I have another $1300 or so in the wheels/tires.

For about $4500 I could do it all again....and I would.

Next on the list will be a suspension setup and an EMS. Hopefully have those by this summer....then a new motor over the winter with some other small ****. Nothing too crazy, just want a good looking reliable car. My last FD was a ok looking....crazy horsepower, too much money invested, making me nervous car, with nothing but motor work done to it. I just went all out with that setup...but I am going to stay more tame this time around. Slowly build it up...and just try and enjoy the car.

Thanks for the compliments on the car....I think it came out really well...definately turns some heads now.
