Its fiberglass so you can't expect perfect corners and curves, thats what fine body filler is for, and body shops. C. Fiber glass also shrinks when it dries in large quantities, and twists from its own curing heat. I had twists, bends, caved in parts and what not on all my stuff, but with a little work and time. It will look good man trust me. Looking good, keep it up.

fiber glass is a pita to work with. when ur getting twists/bends its mostly from how they lay the fiberglass as well as the heat from curing

ok no spark no injector pulse crank sensor i got a new one went to go to change it (had no idea how hard it was or maybe bcuz im inexperinced lol) after about 3 hours of work found out that the harmonic balance belt snaped n hit the timing belt which i guess hit the wire for the sensor either way i gotta get the belts tomorrow blah id had no luck if it wasnt for bad luck

the cause of it all =( (spits on it)

**IVORY_G** · 09-14-2011, 09:14 AM

If your timing belt snapped you could have bent valves, need to get that checked out asap.

**Fresh_617** · 10-07-2011, 03:06 PM

i forgot i had a build lol but ivory the timing didnt snap it was the other belt that let go it messed up the timing belt but didnt break it so got both them changed and replaced the sensor it took out

looks good other than the wheels imho, what's up with your grill it's like an inch above the bumper

lol i know im workin on changing the rims lol but that grill was only put there for the show i zip tied it i still have to shape the "mesh" behind the grill so it stays on firm then i will double side tape it in place so it will connect to the bumper

**Blue8g** · 10-07-2011, 05:23 PM

Is it just me or does the hood fitment look a bit off? And I agree with what greddy said.

Definitely has potential though.

**Fresh_617** · 10-07-2011, 09:57 PM

the hood doesn't close um bcuz i try to do everything myself lol
so see what had happen was.....i have a 03 and yeah it has that little nose piece and i wanted to take it off so yea....now the hood dont close lol

**Skyforger** · 10-07-2011, 09:59 PM

I would go with the kouki grille, versus the one you have now.

I'd get a smaller diameter wheel, too. 18" would be perfect with your drop.
