No bondo, all real plastic.... goodbye license plate ugly box...thingy...



Buddy did all the work. I had him paint the hood, grille, lip, and bumper plus the body work. That hood is like a mirror.

Re: Shaved front license plate... sneak peek pics
Thanks everyone. A buddy did it. The car is boosted and tuned but only on 6lbs (175WHP). Next is the wheels. I'd like to do a flat black with a transparent gold over the already machined lip.

Re: Repainted frontend/Shaved bumper DAY PICS!
very nice look. my only guess is he plastic welded a square piece of abs to the bumper, then sanded the front to smoothen it out.
