Thanks guy's for the positive comments. Everything to me looks awesome and the only thing thats going to change is to make the flames on the hood just a tad wider, to cover more of the rise in the hood. other than that it should get cleared today and start going back together later today into tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have it ready for Wednesday or Thursday. BTW I really love that rear bumper, it just the stock bumper with the cut outs like the tiger shark.

I like what you have done with the rear bumper and I do think the flames will look good and agree with you that a tad wider on the hood will be the ticket

Can not wait to see the final pictures

Aweseome! Who makes the rear facia? Did you have that custom done? Also are they painting the whole car w/ the panels on? Are you just going to live with a paint line when you open the door?

The rear facia is basically a stock facia with the bottom cut out like a tiger shark rear, I like the look of the lower part of the tiger shark but not the top, that's why I did it that way, so yes it is custom made. Most of the cars paint is just being freshend up, wet sand and reclear, the rockers, rear and doors are getting painted or touched up. It should come out great, this guy does excellent work.
