Default my car, she lives agian!! mwuhaha


got my replacement lip (same as before) and spent half the day doing some one off work on it, where it used to just mold and sink in, i cut it out, i always planned on doing this from day one, but never got to, well now i had the chance.
more pics as i get further, the back will match too....
*new update*vv

well after about 3 or so hours of cutting grinding, and hand trimming/sanding. i turned my rear lip into this. what ya think? itll get repainted with the rest of parts. my new bumper is in tomorrow so ill be daoin that. guna do the vents agian, but guna change it up lol.
well i started the molding for my air intake cones.

working with a bumper without paint on it already is much much better lol.

waterbase primer is nice becuase it goes on nice and thick, but it takes forever to cure, owel i had to prime it so i can glaze, and put the finishing touches in the mold work. its comin out pretty good, and much faster than the first time lol.

lay on glaze then wait for it to cure.

carefully block sand glaze and make it sexy smooth.

then re-prime to make it smoother/give a base for the paint.
and some people wonder why this ish costs so much lol.

bumper and lip prepped for paint. funny lookin like that lol.

ive been rollin lipless for most of the week lol. *eww dirty muffler*

and heres a tease of how the lip will look. all sanded and stuff already tho lol.
well more of my muffler will be visible now so i figured id turn it from this....

to this!

mm, like shiny new stainless hha, gota love wenol

ok well, the car got painted on saturday, and i was able to put it aback together today. i forgot the lower grill at home, but tis on now. i left the sideskirts off the car becuase i really like the look, ill be painting the pinchweld black so it doenst stand out, and covering the holes left by the skirts.






what you think?

Cut outs look good but it needs the sideskirts IMO.
