Yup hector those were the sideskirts I got from you. Looking pretty good huh.
As for removing the tail light lens, I had bought these & that lense was cracked. So I tried to remove it & it broke in 2 more spots so i said screw it & took the covers off. Did the old heat them in the oven trick.
As for the headlights they will be polished when he is buffing out the paint on my car. Then they will be replaced with my custom projector headlights in MX-3 headlight housings.

Yeah I do Gregory!!! I'll PM you with some pictures & hints of what I did to the bumper. I think it raised the bumper about an inch, so I shouldn't have any problems hitting anything, but I guess I'll have to wait & find out...I like how you modified the MP5 Bumper ...I have problems with the ground clearance issue too ...might do the same to mine , any details or hints ?
I have not had the chance to drive it yet. He is not finished with it. Hopefully it should be next Sunday.
Here it is!!!! There is still some sanding & buffing to do, but had to sneak some shots in!!!!

Wow that's.... interesting.
What exactly is going on there?
Whatever the paint job is, it's causing blending and glare that is really screwing with the curves and lines of the car, at least in pictures. In certain areas it looks warped, dented or unfinished.
Those nifty sideskirts you did are now totally lost in whatever sort of color mixing is done there.

It's painted!!!!! Let me know what you think...
Thumbs up for originallity..but I personally wouldn't have done a fade. The curves on the car don't really do it justice. I like the color choice. It sure makes the rims looks out of place.
