Are you planning on filling in the holes for the trunk? Seems like you know what you're doing, hopefully it'll withstand everyday wear and tear. Actually, I had a similar thing done to my car. I don't have the entire rear bumper molded onto the body, but I did get rid of that [vertical] gap under the taillights that are on the very sides of the car (you have the same thing filled in). Good luck with your project.

Craftsmanship looks good, but while you are at it, rip off the wing, throw some bondo over those screw holes, and remove the tails & decals. Car will look 100x better then. If not, having quality craftsmanship is pointless. No one will ever notice that over the other stuff I mentioned which screams low quality and cheap.

Craftsmanship looks good. If i were you i Would seriously reconsider molding the Front Bumper on. If you hit anything in the road it will destroy the front and all the hard work. Most cars that mold their kits on just mold the Sides and the rear. The front is just too risky IMO. But the work looks to be good quality from the pics

Just noticed. The panel gaps around the tailights really look off in this pic. Maybe its the angle, I am not sure.

the taillights need to come out for final sanding so that WILL be fixed... this is basically just the start of everything... i just wanted to find out if i was heading the right way and from the sounds of it i am, if i would get rid of the spoiler... the car had it on there when i bought it, and yes its big, but its not stock, so thats why i like it... i want to replace it with maybe an evo wing, but for now i like the look... if anyone else likes the look and is curious to see the work in progress, i started a site which is no where near done but the forum there will have updates with everything i do... so if anyone is interested its http://www.totalpackagecustoms.com/forums/

sorry if this is seen as a plug, but i cant post everyday when i update the car on this site...

you don't just throw bondo over holes. You have to weld them, grind them, then lay some bondo down.....just so you know for future reference.

I've never liked the idea of molding directly because you can't get the bumper off if you need to work on something that it gets in the way of.
