Mission Complete! pics this time!

well i'm done, and i've got some pics for you all now. couple shots of it just before clear, and some after. and yes i know the clear doesn't look so good in the pics. It's because i haven't had a chance to buff it yet.





lol, that's not me in the pic, that's my friend





so, what do ya think? i've been working on this for a while now. Yes i don't have a front bumper. versus didn't come through for me, lol. I'd show u what i've already also started on, but u know how i do this, lol.

I love the shape so far cant wait to see some more pics...

From the amount of orange peal and other defects looks like you have some wetsanding and polishing to do..

Def show some pics when you are done..

actually the orange peel is nearly perfect. the pics jjust kind of suck, but like i said be4 it needs to be buffed. thanks for the compliments guys!

btw, it is extremely functional, and as far as another... fat chance, so much time and quite a bit of $.

it loooks much better now that its cured

Nice man excellent job! I think instead of the letter cutouts I would have just put a small plastic vent grill to match the one on the front (honeycomb style). Anyways you did an amazing job! I love the look of it and I would totally buy one if they sold em. Its so refreshing to see something different, again great job

o well, to each his own. i didn't wana do the standard mesh, and definately not plastic. i had to do something that no1 else had done or thought of. i wasn't gona do the honey comb thing because i don't have any of that on the car. i also thought it was nice to have the engine size on the car somewhere like other's do, and this way it's subtle and functional. it's really the kind of thing that pizs don't do justice for

Very nice. I'm assuming it's a vent to let heat escape from the engine bay? What happens when it rains? Where does the water go?

water is no issue. i put a weep hole in. it goes right past the engine and straight to the ground. trust me, theres been much planning and care thats gone into this. anyway for those who don't like the 3.5, too bad! lol. it's my own flare for my car. i hate the norm and thats y i did it. if u dont like that, then u might not like my next thing, and this is big!
