**Updated 3/6/06 Vid Comparison**.
CARBONIZED
FYI, the wheels are slightly turned in the pics, not that the front end is off, Thanks.
**Note**
I want you to keep something in mind here. Here are the circumstances to which I have had to deal with in the creation you see before you.
1) I am one guy working in my future in-laws garage. I don't have access to any sorta hevy equippment. All I have access to is a tool box, and jack and jack stands.
2) The vehicle was struck on the passenger side headlight by a retard in a chevy silverrado prior to the work I did. Therefore, the very most part of the frame is slightly off. (plan on taking it to a body shop to have the frame pulled some)
3 I did the work all by myself. With occassional help.
4 We all know that "Aftermarket" parts do not have the greatest fitment to begin with. Couple that with the fact the car was involved in a slight/tiny fender bender, and you have a worst case senario.
5 The fenders and the hood, which have a great impact on the appearance and fitment came from 2 different companies, which is another WHAMMY! when it comes to fitment.
With that said, I did the best I could. I busted my a$$ for 3 days and nights straight. Very little sleep (to which my body is now starting to catch back up with the endorphins my brain was releasing to keep me awake and energized, so now I feel sluggish).
I want to thank my future in-laws for allowing me to terrorize the garage for 3 days. I want to thank my boy "Clayton1" (on these boards) for putting in a little wrench time/brain storming to help me on day 2 of the build. And I want to thank my g/f for trusting in my ability to throw the wrench around a little, and for not nagging me TOO MUCH! about when the car will be done (She gets to drive it everyday!
)
Mods to come:
This weekend's project is to paint the stock wheel spokes black. (Temporary until we get the Advan's).
A 1-off ZPI exhaust system + S-pipe + Ver. 2 Crank pulley is scheduled for install on March 4th.
And I haven't decided on whether or not to go ahead and get the Wing to complement the lip. Or get the clutch and flywheel to complement the added power from the exhaust. What do you guys think?

Is it just me or does the hood alignment look off... Look at the top left, how it has a big gap then look at the left headlight how its nice and close... then take a look at the opposite side and notice how it is the other way around... but other than that, looks great!
