That widebody front end looks amazing!!!

I'm not a huge fan of vented rear fenders personally, but the work looks top notch. Nicely done. Cant wait to see this thing done.

haha when the owner bought the kit in i just bout told him to f*** off with the spoiler, didnt look right on the car imo. then i mocked up the wide body and sat the spoiler on and it finished it all off! the rear end of the rear guards look really plain without the spoiler on so it helped finish them off also

hey

i usually charge around 6k nz for 4 steel guards and minor kit mods plus paint on top.

this job would retail at approx 13k nz (7000usd) all painted and finished up
i would think this would be cheap to some of you as i see it can be $800usd to 3m guard the front of your car!!!!

hers some other cars ive done aswell,
integra is steel
corolla wagon is steel
180sx fiberglass rear steel front
wrx all fiberglass

Wow. Airballed this cool post also. Very nice work. I like the consistency of your
spot welds and overall finish. In for the finished win! I wish this was going to be
a single color exercise though...

must be a inside joke or something im nt aware of (blue metalic CF parts right to his shop huh)

i fully welded everything not just spots they were just for tacking into place.
it is a single colour just with a pearl fade from the top to bottom, so not as if its going to be a two/tone
