I don't think it'd look all that good on a stock (or moderately modified) svx. It works good on his car though. It's pretty similar to the smallcar grill actually.

You did a good job on the hood work, it's not really to my taste (but growing on me), reminds me of either (or both) a pontiac trans-am or grand prix

I don't like the "eye-lids" on the headlights, but I don't like "eye-lids" on 99.9% of cars, so to each his own

The bumper/front clip looks great but seems a little thick/wide in comparison to the lines of the rest of the nose/hood, this may just be the angle of the photo's though and again the "eye-lids" narrow out the headlights so that might make the bumper look fatter then it actually is. Curious, are there fog lights under those covers at the moment? Or something planed for those slots in the future??

The front grille looks awsome!!! Great job modifying it, flows nicely with the hood and clear lights!

I also love the side skirts, they also flow well with the lines of the car and make the side look a little more agressive.

Still hate the wing height (not sure about the style either), but will be interesting to see what you do with it in the following month(s)
Any other plans for the rear of the car?? Or planing on keeping it the way it is (other then the wing height)??

Concerning the hood, as i mentioned before, it got screwed up with the engine heat first becasue i didn't install a heat insulator at first and then it is very thin (along with the metal grill on it weighs 7 Kilograms or 15 pounds), i will redo it again, but not now..
The Grille you liked could never have been appreciated without the Vynil eye-lid extensions which "complete" its form.
the Beamlight covers are of the impreza and in there i can fit the original Impreza foglights without any difficulty...
Concerning the side skirts, well i widened them around an inch in the front in order to flow with the front and rear bumper. (now they are 100% exact)

I will keep the back of the car as it is because i am verrrry satisfied with the way it looks first and then with the ultra lightweight i was able to achieve with it (no more than 18 lbs)...
the only thing i am gonna remodify is the rear spoiler height...

Thank you for your comment

Well hands down you did an awsome job. I really like the fact that u lost the vynil(spelling?). i think the car flows with all of ur mods, it is not confused anymore. To be completely honest with u, I think you should lose the aluminum spoiler and pick up one of dayle's carbon fiber JDM style spoilers. They look much nicer. All in all it looks frickin sweet!! BTW I may just be starting on the trunk project we spoke of, I have found a lid and spoiler, I will let u know how it works... I beileive both parts are made of fiberglass so a resine based bond should work great

My spoiler is not made of aluminum.... it is light plastic! somehow near the carbon fiber spoilers you see at Dave's... i will lower it like a 1.5 inch or so but not more..
And a piece of advice, i highly recommend you use the lid only to do your mods (because it is made of fiberglass), and I think the spoiler is plastic... So for any help PM me. I will tell you how to make it.

Danny, I love the new bumper! What a fantastic idea to take the original waterfall grill and cut and fill it. I can't believe I did not think of something so obvious and simple.

The hood looks nice too. I will admit that the venting on it made me leary at first but it's definitely growing on me. You do Fantastic work!

#59 06-18-2005, 11:23 PM

You are a great fiberglasser. I don't care much for the product, but the quality is very good. Good job.

Thank you Johnny, great to hear also that you liked it, at first i also didn't think of the waterfall grill be modified, a friend gave me that idea.
I took the idea of the Hood from the orange supra in the movie:The Fast and the Furious and modified it to make the hood look like it is now.
