i would actually like to see how it turns out,,,
good luck man!

trust i read everithing you wrote thats why i keep reposting... i never accused you of nothing... but what i said once and ill say it again i dont have money like you, to repaint the car nd put stikers on it. dont get me wrong you car looks kool but i dont have the money to do it nd everithing ur saying is that for me to get where you think i should be i need the money. but thanks for the help


AMEN

UPDATE AGAIN:
so i like how the invader bumper goes but i Don't like how real aerodynamic its is and crazy curves and all but i went off of that bumuper a lil bit plus i like the bottom of it. so here is another couple of pics,



might not update for a day or so, WORK in the am

AMEN to that Lol, and the lord said be born, grow, mate and Modify!, lol, "no offence to any religios out there" you are so right, thats exactly why I mod my car depending on my budget, and I dont care of what anybody says about how the project looks like while in progress at the end I always hear the same"WOW", "AMAZING!"Unique!" ect, tell me about criticism, when my auto tech teacher used to make fun of the things I said that I was going to do to my car, and after the finished product he was freaking speechless, and after complimenting my work he said that he would call me Celica man and that I drove the highest tech batmobile lol
Keep up the good work man, if you cant get the money todo the job, just try your best with what you have, because I know it sucks to leave cars stock, that was the #1 reason for websites like this one, and I know what you mean that the other dude was trying to bash, and I felt that too, but in some part I agree with him, if you can save the money do it and get the best, but if you cant save the money, just make the best you can, you know you can count on us for tips and ideas, thats the whole reason of this forum, to support eachother, if you need my help anything I could help you with any tips Ill be checking this forum every night for this whole week at around 12 am EST NJ timezone maybe earlier, dont think it twice to ask me any questions ok?

That's not bad for you

I've got the front splitter from a Seat Leon Cupra on mine

LOL Audis!, you are right I think i've never seen a custom Audi lol!

thanks for understanding! nd yes i agree with him to... but the thing is i like to be unique and for me to save up nd get a lip is tough and or spliters and rear bumper, that's why i said everyone has there ways and this is mine. who knows may be if some of these people like it it can be made in to my own little project sell them for cheep and the who know what it would lead to.nd yes if i need help ill deff let you know!

UPDATE.... so its been really cold here in Ct so i havent really done much. ive managed to test fit the lip thingi and im liking where this is going. so im just trying to just get the front first and then go on the sides only because the side of the bumper goes up so i got to think of a way to make it look like it belongs there any imputs would be in the thinking prosses .

Wow this is a great thread! Thanks for making this thread a reality. I love the cardboard lip. Good material, it wont break but make sure you take it off when it starts to rain or snow & don't drive into any deep puddles. are you going to the NY/NJ meet?

^Chuckle worthy despite the obvious future use of fiberglass........you are using fiberglass, right? Just make sure that you taper the end a bit as it's sticking out too far on the sides, and you keep that center support line straight. It seems to be sagging a bit as it stands.

Also, has this been a salvage project?

I can't help but notice half your parts don't match, or are spray painted red like your fender on the opposite side shown.

yeah i know its just a moc up im gonna fiberglass it at the end so lets c how it turns out. im gonna do my best to go and finish way b4 then.

love the creativity, not the work.
good luck spid33

no my cousin got it and crashed it a few times but when i got it the driver door and fender were really nasty like the door beyond repair. the only way to do it was to replace the whole sheet metal so i just bought the door plus i like the clear turns so i got the door and bumper from the same cat. the fender my dad nd i beat it out a bit that's why in the first way top pik the rubber stiks out a lil.

thanks but i know it looks like crap but its just to c where i want to go with it. i got a guy about 30min from here that knows how to do crazy work like this and painting also and I've spoken with him and hes gonna teach me how all this stuff works he does crazy paint jobs specially his marble paint hers a few pics:




maybe the hood of the car only idk yet but i knda like it but hes a good guy. a little help wont hurt right? lol

Your off to a good start man let me know if you need any pointers or ideas to help point you in the right direction im no stranger to making my own lip kits and body kits if good job on the mock up so far keep us posted

input would be good whats the worse thing i can do? say no? lol

good intentions but how far are you willing to go?

I'm willing to go all the way to the end! when i start i must finish but i haven't updated cause i haven't done much cause of work but i got a friend that knows how to do do custom work and all so hes gonna help me plus i got the back piece where the 3rd brake light goes for some speakers u know, i should just do a progress thread

so,your gonna keep it cardboard...i thought id never see the day...
