| It looks good, not sure how it will hold up. Way to much bondo and fiberglass. And the rear wheel flares need work, they are out of round. I'm not a big fan of being able to fit a leg up around the wheel. I don't see much VIP, besides the wheels. I hope it was a light color that he painted it, because all the bondo and fiberglass is going to cure and shrink up with a little time and it will ruin the whole job, a light color will hide alot of it.
Oh, I make a living doing bodywork. It should be fine for a few months, then it will probably need to be redone. | |

| Trust me it looks much better then pictures can show. I saw it last night. I don't know much about body work but it's one of the few cars I've seen that has some actual work on it done, then just having a body kit "put" on. Anyway I suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think it came out great! | |

I hope everything works out for him. | |

| I helped him do the some of the final sand down on the rear bumper. The work he put into the fender flairs is crazy though. It's super subtle in the primer'd pictures but when I saw them last night they looks really nice with the paint on. I don't think most people are going to notice it unless another xB with a FAB kit is next to it. | |

| I too helped w/ some of the build up sanding and final sanding before he painted it. And the work he did is amazing. He does good work.. He's one of the primere bodykit installer's in maryland, From ruf kits on porsches to a few team emotion body kits, and he's Highly recommended.... But it cost. | |

Too many weird cars like Ford Taurus's on bags and Civics with Celica front end swaps. But yeah, next time there's a GTG down in that area, send out an invite if you wish. | |
