Default quick question

when i drilled through the car it went hollow like devari said but then more metal was after the hollow section. I dont know if i should keep drilling through that or not.
It seems kind of shallow so thats why im asking if i should drill beyond the hollow part.

Default Final pics

I tried to get pictures from every angle because i know how hard it is to figure out if you wanna get this when there's no pictures of it anywhere.
So get ready for a lot of pictures.

couldn't sleep after I finished so I did a bumper tuck last night too.


































Finally, I love opening the door to the garage and seeing this.

if you into the classified section and go to the fi area,theres a guy whos selling a ton of stuff and hes selling this roof for $550 i think.other than used,you're not gonna find this anymore.

DIY should be up tomorrow.

the bumper got screwed up the night we put my exhaust on.it was dark and there were three cars all over the driveway.my friend was guiding me around the cars but we both forgot about the side of the house....which is what it scraped on.

Now that i'm happy with how it looks i'm gonna get the bumper fixed,windows tinted and some cf door handles to really tie the roof and wheels together.

Looks really good man. I wanna find one now too. The dude selling all his stuff in the FI section though, can't remove his double-hump though. Apparently they glued it down too much and it wouldn't come up without cracking he said.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.
As far as what I'm doing next,I was gonna do cf on the whole top of the car(pillars,hood,hatch,roof) but I really like how it looks. It's not overdone like it would be if i kept adding to it. Right now it looks simple and clean and thats how I wanna keep it.

I think all I'm gonna do exterior wise from here is CF door handles and a v2 or amuse bumper. Definitely door handles first though.It's really gonna pull everything together.

And no.Nobody stole my antenna. I have my ipod hooked up into the head unit so I just took the antenna off.

I havent gotten around to putting together the diy but it shouldnt be much longer.

Or stick on C/F parts. Its not like he cut the factory roof out and installed a C/F roof for weight savings.

agreed..I really dislike the stick on c/f interior accessories. Personally I like that "almost stock" look, but with some alloy rims, performance upgrades, and maybe a small lip. I like the reserved look a lot.
