Car actually looks very good. I see some fitment issues but that can be expected with aftermarket products. Great work!

you have NO IDEA about the fitment issues!! The front part was UNDER the hood so I built it as the smooth solid piece with no grill thing to make it look better!

What did you use to plug the hole in the glass for the wiper? I'm just curious because I'm gutting my car right now and was thinking about getting rid of the wiper I NEVER use.

Yes my wiper is gone. In Canada ALL MX-3's came with a rear wiper. In some parts of the world it was an option. But for me since my price on the glass alone WITHOUT the hole is $689 I just decided to fill the hole with a small plexi piece and paint behind where the black was on the glass to make it look like it was never there!

I haven't seen this car before. Looks awesome. It definately does well as a show car. I wouldn't drive it everyday, because I always use my back window, and rear wiper, and most of the things you deleted, but I suppose its not a daily driver, so awesome job on the fibreglass, LCD's and loudness, prettyness, and all that fun stuff that doesn't make it go vroom vroom (except the KLZE?) :)
