Body Work done pics* w/ shaved trunk

Their gonna shoot the car on monday, Im going with the aztec red with a pearl in it. these pics I took yesterday, they still didnt have the front on so Ill take pics when I go back this morning,

Incase you were wondering
I went with the new bumpers because the old one had too much bodywork already so I spent an extra $500 but everything will fit much better.

btw I have bigger versions on my cardomain page 9 http://cardomain.com/id/xrrcd









Ill add the pics I take this morning to this thread

some more pics from yesterday





its hard to tell in the pics, but the trunk is perfect, they matched all the curves with the body lines, alot better then some other ones Ive seen. it also looks better with the wing on the trunk too. they used three pieces of metal to get the sides closed too, so it had that finished look.

What did they use to fill in the surface of the trunk panel? That would be a helluva lot of putty. You're a brave man there J. I think I'd pass out if I ever saw my car in that condition. I can't wait to see it finished. It looks like it's gonna be suweeeeeet!

looks good

make sure they stabalize the wing better from under the trunk. and also why didnt you go ahead and do the skyline conversion since they were doing all of that anyways. I'll buy your max if you ever sell it.

then I have to do the jams and engine bay and trunk lid,

that one of the reasons I just added the pearl to the stock aztec red, since the jams and engine bay would still match because that paint hasnt really faded.

Keep your wing. I've seen that thing on the trunk of your car for so long now I couldn't imagine it without it...

Oh, I just noticed that pic. Another Krapinari kit, eh??!

That sounds cool. I wish I had a hood to match my wing. I would leave the pedastals like they are, though. I think it would blend better with just the actual wing in CF.

C/F on the horizontal part of the wing with the pillars and side plates kept in red would look awesome. Not real obvious from the side either. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, but the 'horizontal' part and the side plates are all one piece, so that wouldn't really work well...
