Some updated shots , The hood will be reshot, the rear aswell once they are bonded.

Keep in mind this is Unfinished and I have to work tomorrow so working on a ride for work.

Car should be ready for pick up by the time I am off work but here are some shots



There are white spots where I asked him to rub the excess glue off the bumper and thats with paint thinner so he will repaint the bonded pieces again. off the car





and the front.



Over all digging the new look and esp since I didn't bag the car just seen it maxed height.

Thanks Fellas

Its an actually adhesive glue the painter has used before to bond the materials

I didn't want the bumper to sag at all and didn't want to mold but keep the lines

Great choice on the FK kit; you don't get much of those in the states. Looking forward to see the complete look.

I'm usually not a fan of molded lips but this one seems like it would look a lot better molded in the rear.
