When I have joined this site two years ago I didn't know much about celis... my car looked exactly like this:

IPB Image

Immediately I have fallen in love with SS-III look so after one year my car looked like this (yea almost perfect SS-III replica smile.gif):

IPB Image

Another year is gone and it's time for another "evolution" wink.gif... till end of January 2008 current status:

IPB Image

Only what I can share now is: IT WILL BE UNIQUE wink.gif. No replica anymore... What I know no one here has tried that before so... stay tuned to see results soon smile.gif

note: only 3 people here knows more about my "2008 body project". Please... all of you keep that secret for more few days biggrin.gif. Thank you!!!

Edit (later February 2008):
see posts for results!!!!

it's a GT-four hood and a GT-four bumper. they sit flush with each other. it's when you try to use a stock hood with a GT-four bumper or the other way around that you get a gap.

Not exactly... It's not whole GT-four bumper wink.gif. Only that upper grille part is important...

...and this is what you will not need anymore biggrin.gif
