Damn dude, looks amazing! You should be very proud of yourself. Where did you get those front fenders from? They are exactly what I am looking for
must have skipped straight over it. Thought he bought them as I've seen very similar styled ones on other cars.
SPL make (or made?) them. Would have thought pumped front/stock rear might look a bit boxy but it came up pretty good.
I may be tripping out.... But I swear I recognise that driveway from a 180 I used to fap over. Did you have an extremely clean 180 with an amazing bay? Edit, nevermind... I was thinking of this http://hardtuned.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=115651&st=0&p=1642253&fromsearch=1&#entry1642253 The BA Bonnet bulge looks so good, by the way!
