that is going to be the baddest ******* protege i think i have seen....ever...i saw leave the dash and s***..the black and orange contrast is going to look REALLY nice man...even if you take them out to get glassed and sprayed do it black becuase the contrast will be GREAT looking and you dont want to OVER orange the car..
 
OK, that's good... Three suggestions:

1.) Punctuation
2.) Sentences
3.) Hit return once in a while?

But yea, post (pics) when you get it back :eek:

Where the hell did you get the money for all that crap?
 
im a tech at the main branch of jvc disc plant we make about 80% of the disc that go out all over the world
 
ok, now im all exicted. so when is the estimated time of completion??
good luck with your project, especially with the molding.
i had my kit molded 2 years ago. never bump,or hit anything and for some reason just recently i developed a couple of very fine stress cracks on my side skirts.

these are old pics the door handles are welded up,side skirts and fender are all ready molded emblems filled in im hopeing for the paint to be done by mid of next week,the motor will not be ready for at least another 2 weeks or more, no im just trying to tease a little just to see what the reaction to it is going to be, i will post some pics of small parts soon
 
nice man, jvc discs huh? wanna hook me up with cdr and dvdr's? lol j/k I already buy em in 100spools.

Very sweet project man, it is nice to see someone with the financial backing that makes good decisions in appearance upgrades. too many times you see everyone go straight for suicide doors, lighting and audio.

Looks to be a contender for pimpest pro5 evar. Cant wait to see the pearl orange, mmmmm
 
NEW PICS GOING UP TOMORROW sorry for the caps ok new pics with widebody molded in complete sheetmetal widebody no fender flares these are complete fenders 4" wider on each side it going to turn heads thats a promise,also shaved the gas door filler neck is now behind the drivers tail light,also changed color of the car it now house of kolor neon orange (it is bright as hell might be the brightest paint i ever saw) SPOOND

Don't do the neon orange, I've seen it, it's way too ******* bright. I think the original orange will look better, but w.e. Still can't wait to see pics
