Default Bodywork redone...still a long way to go.

I originally only posted this in the Florida section, because I am nowhere near done...but, at the behest of my boy, Wringo, I've decided to post some pics in the "big boy" GS forum.

After some really shoddy bodywork, I finally got around to getting my kit reinstalled and repainted. Big thanks to Wringo for hooking me up with his body shop guy, Wally. Also, thanks to Wringo and Tony (tmf2004) for the pictures they both posted of the work that Wally does, which led me to get off my a$$ and get my car done right.

Here's what I had redone (the L-Tuned sides, grill, and the HKS exhaust were kept as is)...

TTE front lip (molded)
Lsportline rear bumper
UGO roof spoiler


Sitting in my garage and ready to install are 20" iForged wheels and Tein CS coilovers. As soon as I get back to work and get some cashflow, I'll be rid of the stockies and the 4 finger gap.

Still a long way to go, but thanks for looking and let me know what you think so far.

Jeff

Appreciate the compliments, guys!

The pictures really don't do justice to Wally's work.

Jeff, once again glad I could help! Your car looks awesome! Can't wait to see the look with the wheels and coilovers installed! Wally's shop has the mold on molding!

Me neither, bro...I've been really thinking about biting the bullet and installing the coilovers now and waiting a bit longer on the wheels. I still have to shave my rear fenders down a bit to be able to fit some 285 tires back there.

Looks nice. I went to USF for a bit before I ended up moving. I was even a Sig Ep.
