Keeping the stock hatch cleans up the car immeasurably. I really hope you take more pics with the wing off as well, it really does look a whole lot better w/o, but that's just IMHO. Nice job.

As for the lights, I could tell they are Hella 90mm lights whenI first saw the kit. Could have ordered them to save time, since they are (relatively) cheap:

I have a box of them sitting in the closet myself haha.

But, your car looks AMAZAZING!!! I do have to agree- the stock hatch looks so much cleaner as does the wingless look. But I still like the wing. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Oh, are there going to be any performance mods? This thing needs to be a MONSTER!

Pure awesomeness.

Not the biggest fan of the fortune but your car is a beast.
I have greatly enjoyed watching your progress.

I heard through the grape vine that the chassis is wider for this particular body kit than others is that true? and if so what is it that you have to do to the chassis in order to equip this body kit the right way?

There are some sour grapes on that vine!

The body kit makes the car wider, the chassis remains the same besides some fender rolling of the unibody quarterpanels.

I love the gunmetal color - I actually repainted my FC in y2k Mazda gunmetal metallic. Very nice ride. Just beautiful!

Uhh, I love it. It's not flashy colors, it's a paint scheme that means business. The stock hatch does look pretty nice. I think I still might go with the Veilside hatch because it's so "unique". Could you take some more quality pics of the car on a nice bright sunny day? I am sure you are already getting tierd of people oogling already .
