Theres not much about the car that is curvy. I think it matches the lines of the car almost perfectly. I def wish I could have gone through with my original plan for the bumper but just did not have the time I did when I first started the project.

your oem bumpers and sideskirts looked better.

this shot below looks very very awkward, the skirt is sticking out way too much for the rest of the car, and you can still see the bumper line where they sanded and bondo-fiberglassed in. That part should be smooth, that was your intention right ? it made it look worse, should've just left the line there.

there is a distorted line on every piece of the body kit.

No I left a hinderance of the line there on purpose so that it broke up the flat area a little more. I have never been the biggest fan of bubble cars especially square bubbles. It was all personal preference and learning from experience on the body work building up as much filler as would have been required would not have been a good idea.

And i will be remounting the shirts and refitting them to tuck in further.

then why did u even bother filing the bumper lines ? why ?

and as for those side skirts, they are meant to follow the oem tucked body line. It should angle at the same bodyline angle and should be in line with the doors. A lot of body shops take the short easy route by just make them mount.

and if your bodyshop makes excuses, don't believe them.

Because its my car and I much prefer the way they look now to when they have the 3/8" indent in them.

the car was never in a a body shop. I had them all prepped for paint by myself in my garage and dropped them off for my painter. I did all the fitting and mounting in my garage. I know what I need to do to get them to mount how I want them, and i will be doing it this weekend.

Huh? Why did you quote my signature? I don't understand that. I wasn't clowning on your car. Please learn to take criticism. Just because someone does not like your car, does not mean they are personally attacking you.

Please explain the roll eyes. I am highly interested in why you did that.

Thank you
Chris

OH ****...upon further assessment....you think i'm a ricer. AWESOME. I look forward to seeing your car at HIN too.

Chris
