haha, that's nice. If you squint your eyes it look pretty realistic. How do you do that? I could use that for designing the fenders (which i might start this week).

I like it, the only weird thing I've seen so far is how far the bumper seems to stick out up front. It just seems awkward, like its got two feet of gap between the core support and it. I dont know why it looks like that, but it just seems too long, even from an "I've never seen a B5" standpoint.

That said, I think the widebody will tie things up nice, so GO GO GO!

Believe it or not the bumper sticks out the exact same. The only difference is that the bottom doesn't roll under like it should and the longer hood gives a little illusion of sticking out further. My stock bumper with the plate frame actaully sticks out further at the front core support area. But yeah I really hope the widebody pulls it all together.

Damn, I remember doing this **** when I was younger, I wish I had the time and patince to do that. But I've gotten to the point now where I don't want to be sanding body panels and crap myself even though I have the know how.

I love this project, the rear spoiler looks great.
