Got some new pics for you guys wink.gif started filling in the area on the driverside front where I had to lenghten it a couple inches... I'm gonna try and finish this up today and will post some pics of it when I'm done, because of some of the fitment issues on the corners of the front I am having to do quite a bit of stuff but its nothing too hard so it should go pretty fast but newayz one with the pics...

I started by using little metal brackets and poprivets to support the two pieces

It all depends on how much hardner you put it, what the temp is and how humid it is. Its supposed to take around 2hrs to fully cure.... but I get a little hardner happy most of the time so it usally takes mine about 30mins or so. If you use and accelerator its only takes 15 mins or so but I dont usally us accelrator unless its below zero.

as for today im not sure how much im gonna work on it... I'm feeling alittle sick today so well see... prolly put a few hours into it atleast wink.gif

im thinking of maybe changing the rear slightly... but want your guys opinions

here is the orginal photo

user posted image

and here is the photo shopped version

user posted image

am thinkin about doin this to make the installation of the exhaust easier and to cut down on wind resistance.. if I did this I would prolly run apexi N1 non-turbo exhasut, two of em, otherwise it will be a single apexi N1 turbo exhaust

It is a little lower than the invader kit was by about 1/2 and inch... the car is sunk into the ground a little bit and the tires are kinda low... that and the ground is raised up a little under the rear so It looks alot lower than it really is... I might push the car out into the alley next weekend and take some photos... im really curious about how the car is gonna look from a distance and I wanna double check the clearance before I get too far into all of this
