Here are some primed pics of the front and rear bumpers molded and shaved. I forgot to upload the sprayed pics that we sprayed with the rest of the car but you get the idea,

Also some pics of the headlights and blinkers. Don't have any pics of the tails after being tinted and cleared but they do look nice in my opinion. Again thanks for looking!

did you just use nightshade for the headlights and turn signals? you should have shaved off the signals in the front fenders, too. would have looked alot cleaner ,i my opinion. how do you take the tail lights out?

I actually am using BMW turnsignals for a cleaner look. I did not want to loose my signaling ability with my fronts tinted. Also I did use Nightshades for the the tint and then HVLP syray cleared the lights. Removing the tails is easy. Just unscrew them and pull them straight back.

I removed and reinstalled the engine to properly prep and spray the engine bay. All I have to do now is spray my fiberglass enclosures for my system and all the engine covers, reinstall my CF hood after we finish the custom design on it and the car is ready for Nopi Nationals! I can't wait!

Hmm probably about $7500-$8,000 since I did all the bodywork with my friend. Otherwise I would almost be at $17,000. The paint job alone is worth $10,000 with the custom bodywork, plus the paint ran me $2000.00 for the House of Kolor chameleon sprayed on after the gunmetal we made, but thank God one of my good friends owns a bodyshop and we did everything together so it only cost me materials and his and our time. We just finished wetsanding the car down withj 2500 grit and polishing it. I will post some pics tonite of the front and rear of the car. Thanks for the kind words also! I have been working on this ride since May and I am very happy it is almost done! I love seeing the finished product after working so hard on the design and building processs!

You totally misunderstood what I wrote bro. I was asked how much I invested into my ride thus far. The estimate I gave was including, the Racing Hart 17" wheels I have, plus tires, bodykit, hood, intake, suspension, system, rear wing, exhaust with header, Optima Red Top battery and everything else I have done. I am going to be working on some engine components this winter when this season is over here in New England, possibly a turbo or N20 with some internals. Only time will tell

Only time will tell haha ok it makes more sense now and wow those new pics look really good i cant wait to see it with the carbon fiber hood...not a fan of the razzi kit usually but shucks it looks good with the gunmetal color and the 17's.....what lowering springs are you using? and do they rub at all?
