Default Round 2,

Widened the rear tubs 3" to allow for the 11x19" wheels. Already had a DSE "style"(as I stole their design and made my own in 07') rear 4 link. Integrated the wide tubs into the coil over pan and narrowed the frame at the rear. I Would later add wider exhaust "bumps" to allow for increased exhaust room, as this was always a problem with this car. 4 links and tail pipes do not get along well. Also added a fuel pump access door that turned out to be needed after a couple of shake down runs!

The park lamps were recessed to make the factory lenses flush. Not intended to be a full custom Frenching, just wanted a subtle recess. Had to build my own stamp press. turned out great, very little body work necessary to finish for paint. The bezels were ceramic coated black.

The front spoiler was hand formed sheet metal of my design. Notice the fog lamps removed and the opening with the "teeth" cut out of 1/4" aluminum. these would be ceramic coated black when finished. The opening was designed around the need for air flow for the intercooler radiator. The bumper bracket openings were tightened up when the car was originally built in 07'.
