Woah is you engine out or what? That front end needs to go down asap!!

Good turn around though. Looks good. Just lower that front end!

Great turn around. I think it needs the vents in the notrils. black vents i think will help set it off. Also I would hold off on painting the spoiler top black, do the ceta and see it you like that with out the stripes. that is just my opinion though.

Somewhat off topic, but what size spacers are you running in the rear wheels? I have a set of wagon wheels I'm working on getting tires for at the moment.

What I think? I think I can still tell it was wrecked. The hood and fenders need some more work, especially the left side. Nice work, but it still needs a little more to get the gaps correct. Like somebody already said, it looks like the front might have been tweaked and probably should been pulled straight on a machine.

Yeah, it looks like the front is still pushed up or something.

Yeah I'm definitley seeing what you guys are talking about now. The hood doesnt line up on the drivers side and the pass side headlight cover looks a little off on the outside edge.

Looks like a Firehawk front bumper as well. So, he was right.
I kinda like the stripes, but the whole unaligned front end is killing me.
You really should've made sure the frame wasn't damaged in the accident.

What makes it a Firehawk bumper? Looks the same as a TA bumper.

hood adjustment **** on the driver side needs to go down some to line it up with the fender/light lid. driver headlight lid needs to come further down in the front. passenger side light needs to be moved toward the fender a bit more.

otherwise good job bringing her back to life.

Center piece between the scoops is trimmed on a Firehawk.
