That looks so sick! Awesome job. I agree with what others have said about the roof spoiler.

What kind of spoiler did you have molded into the trunk? What shop did the work? When you shaved the body moldings did they have to repaint the doors?

Wow!

That looks great!!!

What rear wing did you have that they molded? I was talking to a friend who has a body shop and he won't mold a lip wing for me unless I find a fiberglass one because urethane flexes different than what they use to mold it.

Any details would be very appreciated.

Looks clean.

I actually like the roof spoiler with the molded trunk lid.

Now all you need is an exhaust to finish up the look on the rear end.

Guys thanks for all the comments.Would not have been possible if not for this forum and all the inspirations from all the Gs comments and ideas from it's members. Pictures and info on the wing is on the first page, first post under edit.

Everyones comment on the roof spoiler is the reason why I asked for opinions. I also feel its not flowing with the car anymore so sarona roof spoiler will have to go and will be posted for sale in the market section along with the IS300 spoiler. Need money for the next project.....

Yeah I miss the old look but I love the new look! Those tail light overlays looks good. I wish they had something like that for the sedan.

Two holes on each door and they welded to close the holes and repainted all four doors.

Photoshop it out!
Yeah finally!! I believe you were the only one I showed the wing and shared my idea with when you dropped off the bumper.
