Can you show us more pictures? The hood and the car with the wheels on? Whenever you get a chance that'd be cool.

Here are pics of the hood,and one of the rear wheels. The car is on jack stands for some spring cleaning. I will take better pics once the cleaning is done.

Dude I LOVE your car! Everytime I convince myself I can deal with a different hood I see a pic of your car and it's back to saving up money for THAT hood!

Your car looks GREAT!!!! Where are you located? If I am ever ANYWHERE near you I will have to try to see it in person...

Back on topic though... My friend (Chirs aka Whistler) flared his rear fenders as well. Obviously not to the extent mentioned above but noticeable in person nonetheless.

Also something that was done fairly easily with basic body tools and yes the metal was reshaped out, it's not just bondo or something. Here's a few pics:












He also reshaped the front bumper, made a custom hood out of carbon fiber (which Harwood later stole the design of AFTER he won an SLP show), Targa topped the car, shaved the door locks and third brake light and also made the C5 rear panel (which he never drove the car with it, thought it was too much Vette with the targa top and the C5 pieces he grafted into the front bumper).

So, it can be done to a lesser extent for MUCH less money (probably $200-$300 in body work MAYBE, obviously not including re-painting) or to a greater extent for a MUCH GREATER amount of money as mentioned above.

How deep is your pocekt ?
