    I know it goes all the way around.... but if you can taper it down towards the wheels, so that it sits flush and doesn't interrupt the wheel arch curve, then I'd like it even more.

    lol, you snuck in a post while I 'choped the pic.... yeah, you got it! I think it should be easy though, like the fiberglass might be thicker there, so you could just grind and taper the line smooth?

    it would look nice but i have 2 screws on the inside of the wheel arch where the end of the body kit is at and that hold it all...if i grind it down it may have to be where the bumper becomes too thin and snaps from the wheel arch screws...and i would have to make them hold on with something...IDK here im just throwing out ideas....

    might have to think about it over night...

    I guess not everyone can park in a garage.
    Added: Mar 31, 2012 3:36 AM
    Here's another..... shaved the side skirt holes, the rear bumper holes, tidied up the inside of the wheel gaps, and removed the flare on the rear bumper towards the wheels.... basically like you did with the front.

    I don't know about "fully",

    but basically exactly what you did to the front.... you fixed the under corners so they didn't have vents, holes, and flares.... so do that to the back (and fill the side holes) and yeah, you'll have a clean body kit that no one else has. Cause the rest of the car is really clean, and then the rear and sides have too much going on to match the clean look. The front works now.

    Looking good nell, what kind of suspension are you on?
    Now I can tell why you want a honda motor in your car :| lol.

    Cbass, don't over ponder all the nonsense gold is throwing out about minor things, it looks good and no one other than gold would notice.

    It comes in a spray can, just spray it on in light coats. I think its called krylon stained glass paint.

    Leave the fogs clear, your car is white, I think it looks good only on black or silver cars. And yeah that's the back parking lot at work, pretty much never used except for the vendor trucks.
