I think you should patent your work and sell these parts as your own

Thanks for your comment guys!
I am also thinking on making a trunk spoiler out of metal based on this trunk:

I have better pictures of the spoiler; i really like it and seems to flow well with the GS's body.

EDIT: more pics added

the simplicity of the drop-vent hood is highly underrated. i just wish i could have the same style hood available for my S13. looking damn good.

I'm debating if I should weld the metal spoiler to the trunk or if I should make it out of fiberglass...

If I weld it, the weight will allow me to use those catapult-struts for the trunk...

Welding it is! I started the wood mock-up to get the big pieces setup. Also, i got a durango for a DD, one of the reasons why the build stopped momentarily. I also started figuring out what i am goign to do with the sound system; this weekend i might start tearing the OEM system up to start the system build.... since i have to get the interior out anyways, why ont do this right now too, right? ;D
