Test fitting the lights and shaved trunk lid.




What do you do when you have 2 wiper cowls?


Cut one up as parts to shave the good one, who needs wipers and squirters...

unbelievable work GG. You are talented to say the least. If you don't mind me asking what is it that you do for a living? You mentioned earlier that you have 3 jobs. I am just wondering how you are able to support your build, 2 new cars in over a month ( not cheap cars I might add), and a hot girl (sorry had to say it)

Here are some more pics I took along the way that did not get posted...
traded my blacked out ones for these 06 lights



More body work





Welded some brackets to the car to make the skirt ultra stiff.



Started work on the front bumper... Shaved tow hook, side markers, and holes that someone drilled for front plate.






almost ready to prime Sorry for the blurry pics it was dust from me sanding...









A couple of rear shots



Trunk ready for prime


Trunk and doors primed





Bumper primed, minus tow hook / corner lights and stretched to fit the wider stance.




Painted wiper cowl, and battery covers... ah ya more green.



What is this... its on the ground and it runs. Taking it to the shop tomorrow to prime it.

The engineer skills are def showing... can not wait to see the finished product.. what are you using to sand? and did you prime it yourself? If so what primer are you using? Sorry for all the questions, just in the middle of reworking my extra stock front and want to prep it myself to reduce paint shop charges.

Thank you very much guys... The bumper is sanded with 180 and a soft block, then gone over by hand on all the edges and corners. Then primed with a 2k high build primer.
