A COUPE front on a SEDAN

I finally did it. Spent 3+ weeks without my car, way too much money, and lots of stress... but it was all worth it.

BEFORE




IN PROGRESS






Sorry, missing pics of the actual work. There was a lot of cutting, welding and fiberglassing.











What was done:

- Custom-made coupe fenders
- Coupe hood
- Top Secret front bumper
- Custom-made coupe grille
- 06 projector headlights painted black (not finished )
- Custom widened rear fenders by 1.5"
- Wald side skirts and rear lip, both molded in
- Blacked out all the chrome moldings
- Shaved door moldings and trunk
- Black roof and mirror bracket
- Car repainted Caribbean Blue with metallic flakes
- Wheels powdercoated Anthracite and using 25/30mm Kics Project spacers

sick! only thing I would have done differently is to flare the rear doors to match the fender flares, looks kind weird that the flare don't extend evenly

That was the original plan, but during the work in progress, it was looking pretty ugly and I wasn't going all out wide-body so did it like this. I think it looks very good actually, and much better in person.

Most people didn't even notice the rear at HIN, because it's so smooth just looks stock (to non-G owners)

Ahhhhhhhhhh

Envy = me.


Great job, Diesel. How does the paint color match in person? Is it noticeable at all?

SWEEEEET!!!

That is very nice! I dig the rear fender flare! I’ve been thinking of that…

Good call on the window trim too – color scheme is great.

Very nice job! I’m impressed!
