Thumbs up Sedan Greddy front end project begins

So it came in today and the tweaks to make it fit have started.

Fitment is decent but some parts are quite a bit off. I have a good few days of fiberglass work ahead of me to make it fit like I want it to. Good thing it was cheap since I will put as much in it as I paid for it! I need to cut and move a few things and I also plan to add a few more coats of fiberglass to help make it stronger.

I never liked how the side ducts looked in pictures (even these) but they don't stand out anywhere near that much in person. It looks a lot better.

I'll update this with pics as the project goes on over the next couple weeks.

This could be made to fit the 05/06 but it would take more work. Anything is possible with some work.

Yeah it is big!

I'm going to wait and see. They make fiberglass sides that go with this kit but I like my Nismo ones. With any luck it will be ok.

Nevermind, I found it.

Great work. I was thinking about doing some CF so I want to see how it turns out!

Ahh come on! The resin smells nice.

You can make the time to make a bumper fit. I am only going to spend a couple hours here and there on it. Should only take a couple weeks.

if you want some extra reinforcement guerilla hair gives it really strong strength above the fiberglass. I want to see how good the fitment is with the piping.

I am going to add more fiberglass. My paint guy said that would be better than any of the hair products.

There is no pipe fitment issues at all. The grille area needed cut down to fit my PS cooler, pump and air fliters. The sidemarker areas are a bit off and the fender lines need cut and re-glassed because they sit back too far and there is a gap.
