Looks like quality work. WELL DONE! Only thing I don't like is the 4x4 look. IMO, the stock ISF rims are the best part of the package.
As far as the rear emblem... of course it should be on there! The whole point is to make the car look like an F... so the emblem is a part of that look.

i just dont like the fact your lying saying it's an F. Thats very poser to me. I would have put all of the body panels on and then just not put the F emblem on and left it badgeless.

Or, if your saying a used ISF is 63k and you spent 42k, then thats a 20k difference. You spent 9k doing this and your gonna spend another 10k at least if you swap the engine. Could have just bought the real thing at that point

Great outcome. Some of you guys have to understand that here in the states its consider "fail" but different countries have different standard/taste/thinking etc. What "fail" here could be a "win" there.

Congrats on the time and effort but the "F" badge should be put on when the "8" goes in and i agree about the wheels! If your going for a true look "F" wheels should be on it. .02

+1 on that, put it in when it's done, not before hand
