I couldn’t go down to the bodyshop today but I got most of the body work done on the driver side side skirt, I have to go back over it with finer grit to get the scratches out still. ![http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/125/img2591f.jpg](http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/125/img2591f.jpg) ![http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/7263/img2592f.jpg](http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/7263/img2592f.jpg) ![http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/199/img2593y.jpg](http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/199/img2593y.jpg) I also cut out the opening for the tips. ![http://img547.imageshack.us/img547/4098/img2589.jpg](http://img547.imageshack.us/img547/4098/img2589.jpg) The rocker will have to be trimmed a little, but not nearly as much as I thought. ![http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/5692/img2594k.jpg](http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/5692/img2594k.jpg) ---

yea thats the car I thought about, ive seen that car up close. No offense to your uncle but I think the car looks too cluttered and kind of cheesy. He used Shelby scoops, the flat blocky hood, a cut out rear valence with no rear exhaust, and left the ugly factory side markers /criticism. ---

> [@FS: custom titles slight\_smile NEW LOW COST](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-custom-titles-new-low-cost/30761/32): > > i love the nysp fox body notch next to it!!! Good eye! The rear valance looks iffy in the lines and that gap on the uncles car. It’s a spectacular looking car to an average joe, but as Dave has invested days into researching what the car is supposed to look like it’s not perfect. He does have oval tips though :tongue Edit: Dave I’m counting on you to come through with a good plate for it. ---
