It took a week of work and most of those were full days of prepping and dodging weather but I got her almost done.
Still have to sand and polish the clear coat to get it mirror smooth.

Here's a quick run through
Fitting the nose to the fenders. Also had to trim the I/C ducts and fit some brackets for the center panel. The fascia was a lot of work. Took a good day and a half of off and on's, then stripping the crappy prior paint job and smoothing out all the fiberglass waves. I'm really happy with how it turned out.



Pebble guard on the bottom.

Also trimmed 3/4" off the silicone elbows to pull the filters up a little tighter and get them out of the ram air. Then I made a simple deflector that uses the studs from the filters to secure it. Drove to work this morning and not a problem with stalling or idle so I guess it works.
