Meet "The Dark One".

Here are the rears, from the rear.

The holes filled in the front fender:

Rear bumper. I can't wait to get pics of it all together meeting the lines of the fenders.

I love the trim-less look. So clean and new looking.

The whole car is going to look amazing!

He'll be buffing the entire car tonight to make it smooth as glass, then finalize the side skirts, paint and mount them. So close!

Wow! That looks awesome Darin :) Now you can't drive it until all the snow, salt and rocks are gone. Are you going to do a clear bra on it after the paint is cured?

I'm going to put a glass box over it with a sign that reads "For Display Only". :wink:

I'm looking into window tint and clear bra....

...and front and rear tie rods....and 8.5" wheels and 255's. :P

So sweet! Those sills look better fitted on your car than they did in the box.

Looks good Darin. I may have to figure another excuse to drive back up to Salt Lake just to see it in person. I like it.

Damn that looks good. Did he fix the run on rear quarter for you or are you going to have to do it?

It would be nice to have a clear film over the entire car, but it would probably come close to respray $. The clear bra alone is pretty spendy.

Maybe not too bad, check this stuff out (ebay)...

I'd just clear bra the front, mirrors and then the fronts of the fender flares. They take a beating with R comps.
