Ya its definitely not for everyone.... I have had a lot of people ask how much bigger it is from the stock front end but its actually smaller by quite a bit. its more of an illusion and the way that picture is i guess.

How much do I have into it up to this point?

got the car for 900 and 1500 would be WAY over-estimating the materials for me to do all the bodywork up to this point (including the bumper and headlights) so i'm sitting pretty damn cheap lol

Do you have plans for the front bumper license plate area? It looks kinda weird being bare. Euro plate?

I'm in the process of having a Euro plate made, but i'm not sure how long its going to take the guy, it does look bare though...
