Awesome project! It just needs the emblem on the back and possibly new tails.

Yes the car looks alot better than the initial pictures were taken. I just put in the L emblem. The paint job was fantastic. If money fall from my trees, i would get a new set of rims but right now they are ok. I paid $500 for the car... so for what it is worth... it cant be beat... I also added some oval exhaust tips.

Nice turnaround!
But... is the Shine kit something expensive? or is it a knock-off from some other brand?
The gaps by the hood are 'wavy'.
