Default Either Finished Or Work-In-Progress *Show Off Your Build*

I thought it would be nice to see what everyone is currently working on, or in case I missed your build thread in the ocean of "need help" threads, post up a few pics of your badass SC. And try not to make this become another random pic thread. This thread is for pics and descriptions of MODIFIED SC'S ONLY

Here's some teaser pics of what Im working on.
I bought these tail lights to use the clear lenses on my oem tails but they dont fit, so im stuck with these for now. I kinda like em though.

She's been my project for the last 3 years.
If you can say about your project "it's done", you either have no objective or don't have a project at all. Car project are finished when you crash or sell the car LOL
