ill have to hunt one down from that one place to fix my hood, i do wonder if ill need to put any coats on it due to being in Florida

I didn't have that problem. Only prob I had was there was no hole to put the hood prop in and I didn't want ruin it by cutting it so I had to keep a stick with me.

Same here. I'm doing that too with the stick. Another thing I have not done is drill holes for window washing system, I had to run longer lines for fluid and hunt down some spray nozzles that go onto the wipers.

you should sand it with some 1000/2000 grit sand paper and have it clear coated no matter what state you live in.

mine had the holes already cut for the nozzles. They snapped right in. I was happy bout that. I didn't know if mine would come with the holes, but I was ready to drill those. Had to adjust the nozzles tho, not a terrible problem tho.

I miss m aveo sometimes. I put alot of work into it and had plans to make more custom pieces. I also miss my dsm too, but that's ol cus that was a constant project.

So here are some pictures taken recently... The pictures are pretty good quality even when they're downsized, so now you can see the imperfections in the alignment between the CF hood and fiberglass fenders/bumpers and stuff.. They warned me that fiberglass body kits are not perfect, but I'm ok with some imperfections to make my ride unique. ....might take a while to load since there are many of them, but enjoy... Any comments welcome.

your still pretty high off the ground, even with the body kit, did it stop the same height as the factory bumper in front? i thought they went "deeper"

Thank you.

I am high off the ground, but where I live right now I can't go lower because I will scrape every time... The clearance between the side skirt/bottom brace and the "hump" pulling in from the main street is about 1/8"-1/4". It barely clears it (sometimes it doesn't when I take it too fast or if someone else is in the car).... Can't go any lower until I move. But that would mean that I'm back at work, so then I would be looking into coilovers.

And the body kit is "deeper" than stock. See this shot:

lots of hard work put into your ride, I wouldn't be able to sell her.

I may not have to, LarsBud, if I get approved for the VIP (Veterans in Piping) Accelerated Welder Training Program... It's free for me 'cause I'm a veteran with an expeditionary medal (so you would qualify for that too ). If I get a job through them, I'll be keeping her. It's pretty hard to sell a modified ride, so there's a high chance I won't be able to sell it before I get into the training, God willing.
