[daniel_cogar]

just gonna throw up a few new pics... hood and front clip is just sitting on there so thats not how its gonna look.., also Im going to cut the fmic hole bigger in the front.

removing the brace didn't cause any problems at all, I wont shouldn't have any body flex, the rear plate under the window is welded to the floor and sides of the "bed" also Ill have a roll bar / light bar welded in the back, and the roll cage welded in the front.

Man, I'm soooooo impressed. Question: did removing the brace in the roof to make room for the sunroof cause any problems? Do get any body flex?

[daniel_cogar]

me either trust me lol

my plans for the diamond plate is to paint it shadow black ... more to come tomorrow

[Nerd Racing]

Should be fine with that. I can't wait to see this thing with color on it!

I melted the plastic bumper on my aspire with the tail pipe... but then again it was shooting right at it not going through it.

mine will be sticking through about 1.5-2 inches so the heat from the exhaust will clear the paint and the bumper

Wouldn't that... erm... melt the plastic?

no, its fiberglass and it has clearances, also its just a tip so it shouldnt get very hot if at all

Prolly but who cares, its just a 1000 dollar body kit.
