Shaved door handle install, I used the electric life universal kit. I added some spring loaded door popouts to push the heavy doors out to open them when the latch is released

More progress,Front bumper and bracket mods. I took out 2 inches of the bumper width to make it fit flush with the body. I also had to strech the ends and reshape the bumper so it fits closer in the grille

I replaced the factory trunk torsion bar with 2 40lb gas shocks, After that I made some trunk hinges from some 1/2 thick 6061-T6 Aluminum.

Thanks everyone. I extended the rocker panels 2 inches and got rid of that awful flat spot and pinch weld. The result is the car looks much lower than it is and it looks more finished than the factory left it.

I decided to extend the drip rails about 3/4 of a inch from some 20 gauge to hide the window channel molding. With some trimming to be sure the window doesnt hit. The result is a much smoother look.
