Very nice!
Even myself couldn't believed with the full metamorphosis it went through. I still don't think it's completely done. So, I'm preparing myself to add more good stuff in the beginning of summer. I still can't find shrouds and brackets for the fogs to be installed. I got a little something in my mind that will give the car more of a distinctive (different) attitude compare to having the traditional VR4 look. You're right about gas prices these days. It's just "redonkeylous!"

^ lol good one chris.. looks good man. little advice, be really careful when you put the side skirts on when they are painted, I ended up breaking off alot of the gaps that I filled in when I put the drivers side back on and tightened it down... I was so pissed lol
The title should've been "Top 11" Chris. Ha-ha. Thanks bro!
Thanks bro! I'll take your word for it. I will be cautious reinstalling them. I know for sure that it will not crack or chipped because I used some special aircraft shtuff.
very nice fitment. Everything looks great!
Good stuff, bruh!
is that licence plate thingy from a mirage, looks great bro
Sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL... I meant attention to detail like you take your time to get things right. Don't be fooled, my car was the biggest POS there was 5 or 6 years ago. Up until 2008 my car was like 5 different colors. It takes time, you have to start somewhere. For me, im glad it all happened the way it did, it was a journey that I enjoyed taking and the knowledge gained in doing it has come to help others get it done easier and without wasting money or time on stuff trying to figure it out.
Looks good! I was contemplating doing my shrouds in satin black also to match my wheels, but Im still on the fence right now. Nice work ;)
So far it's off to a good start with the Side Skirts project. Rey is the man trimming the sides initially to fit the USDM 8G.
It really is some good stuff and I'm learning a lot auto body work/repair techniques.
Yes, indeed... came off of a VR4. Lucap did some minor modifications to it today. Sorry Rey but that thing's gonna have to stay.

This is exactly what Cali and Lucap advised me in taking this journey. You're definitely right about taking the time in to getting things right in the first place. I do have some plans in the future changing the color of the car, but I'm taking small steps completing tiny mods or projects and enjoyed it at the same time. I totally agree with you on money and time ratio.
Thanks man. As per Stewi's comments, find the right moment and have fun with it.
^heck yeah!
Looks good bro! Keep the pics coming!
Looking good bro! I gotta stop by and check out the progress when im free. are you gonna make it to MOD this year?
