i havnt started yet and ur already sayin its gonna look like shit, if it turns out lookin like shit i wont need anyone to tell me, im man enough to know when a project turns out bad. i scrapped alot of parts that i used to transform my cars cuz they didnt look good or it didnt meet my expectations.

Rubber ducky you're the one, you make bath time so much fun.......

Seriously though, I would never do this to my ride but I applaud your efforts nonetheless. Everybody has different taste when it come to cars. Some people like to order out of the catalog, while others like to make their own catalog.

I am very conservative in what I like as far as exterior styling on a vehicle. I dig the 'less is more' and sleeper type of look. Having said that, I would like to see the finished product before I condemn the final results!

Good luck!

thxz B15NEOVVL, there are times i might use the catalog stuff but most of the time when it comes to the exterior i like to try and design my own stuff. the way i want the lip to turn out is clean, sleep like but i want it to have a uniqueness and when at a meet or somthing i want to standout alil and everyone to go, "oh thats fuzzy's car". i dont want to be just another in the crowd. i want my car to represent myself cuz if u see me in person youll know im unique cuz im a freak lol.

tape is to mock it up to get a feel of wut i need to do to it to make it fit how i want it to. not to keep it on permanently lol.

btw if any one wants to see my quality in work here are a few photos from my escort before paint. including photo i post above







aftermarket fenders didnt fit like i wanted so i pulled em off went back to oem and did custom metal vents







yea its a bodykit but for a DD it never cracked, broke and the paint didnt chip off. last winter i bumped the rear end into a hillside and the rear bumper never got any damage.

lol yea it looks like bondo heaven. for most of it though i used TPO which is kinda the same but its lighter and so much stronger then everyday bondo. i used it to fill in where the moldings use to be and stuff never cracked.

car was gonna be turboed but i ended up havin another deer run in front of me before i got the chance. reason for all the openings lol.

everyone has a right to there opinion but to say its gonna look like shit before i even get started isnt really fair, dont b quick to judge. it could come out looking awesome or yea it could look like shit. like i said ill b the first to admit if it looks horrible, it would be easier to just order out of a catalog or online and get already made stuff but that beats the point to really having a custom car. i dont mind wasting money on a idea to be able to have a unique car.

im also designing some custom parts right now which im hoping to get done this summer. a custom harness bar with camera mount, 1 piece front strut bar, an x-brace for the rear but of my own design and a few other things. also if everything goes right ill be doin alil carbon fiber also.
