tripoint widebody front - DONE. well, sorta, lol.

wooohoooo! this bumper is just what I needed to get the car's look to come together and I love it. I will make a duct/tunnel to the radiator and maybe an undertray, not sure just yet. I definitely have some motivtion to get the car painted again, looking sweet and once I get that stuff done I'll take some better pics at cool locations, I love doing photo sessions

and on to the pics!...

actually I retract my statement on the bumper, very clean, and straight to the point. Only thing I would do is open up those brake duct areas and toss in some oil coolers

Looks are so subjective. Your car is one of my favourites on the board but I think I preferred it without this bumper. Oh and if you ever decide to sell your baby keep me in mind as I am just across that big pond to the north.

lol, I am with you though, I think the big blank flat area like where the license plate is, thats such a weird area, I thought about cutting a nice 3" hole there on each side for air intake on the driver side and an oil cooler on the passenger side with some racecar inspired velocity stack kinda thing but I dont need that yet.

the fenders were an easy fit, just hard to get them to match nicely to the door contours like you have heard, I think if I release the bottom from the underside of the car then I can have more flex to work with and then just fab up a bracket to attach them to the chassis at the bottom, that is probably the easiest way and of course I just thought of that as I read your post, thanks.

hahaha, yeah I might sell this car this year... we shall see... Canadian $ > US $ !!!!
