Notice the ground effects on the car. We added two inches to the rocker panels out of 16ga sheetmetal, also extended in front of front wheel opening and extended behind rear wheel opening.
See the rear spoiler? It is all welded steel.
Notice the hood is embellished? We took an SS hood and raised the roof about 1/2", thanks to Paul Morgan at DSE.
Hey Rocketrod, the grilles are EXACT to original footprint. We embellished the grilles on the outside to twice height. The underside vent bezels are EXACT to within .001" dimensional variance. That is why I could not use box tubing, but had the square tube pieces waterjetted out of a 4' by 10' by 1.5" thick of 316 alloy stainless. So yes, they fit the factory "hood ornament" location, but I did redrill the two center holes on both grilles for symmetry purposes.
Hey 130fe, thanks for noticing the hood actuators. I know, I know, everybody is supposed to use the billet hood hinges from any of several manufacturers. Not me. I redesigned my factory hinges, and designed my own gas struts, had them manufactured in Germany, and installed. They are made through EasyLift company.
