Almost finished with the cosmetics, just need to get the door fillers painted and on. I also have to put the new bassini exhaust with the 3" tips on, just to fill out the rear bumber. Some other minor adjustments to the hood and small crap like that but its 98% finished.

Yeah that really does look great. I think one thing to add to that is some springs. that would help a lot. Who made that replica hood?

Thanks for the comments. White devil it already has an eibach pro kit on it and I dont like the slammed look of the sportlines, roads in new eangland are crappy.

Therian all the parts are from abcexclusive including the heat extractor hood.

95 rio snake all the wheels are 17x9 cobra r's.

Going to install the bassini cat back tomorrow and toss the flows cause the rear needs bigger tails. The 2.5's are just not big enough to fill out the bumper cover. I will snap some daytime shots over the weekend if i get time to finish it up.

Did you do the body work or shoot the car?

Curious because I purchased the same Saleen kit from ABC, and the hood seems fairly straight, but the urethane bumpers are wavey as hell! rear bumper being the worst of them.

Oink, I had a good friend of mine do the prep and body work. He also shot the paint. Out of the box all the body pieces were pretty wavy, so youll definately have to put some time into them. I also know he had some fitrment issues with some of the pieces. so i would definately suggest moking it up first before you spray them. Might need some trimming here and there. Over all I thought it turned out well. Good luck with your kit.
