Default Opinions on craftsmanship...ONLY

I know that this isnt the place to post anything that could be considered slightly rice, but i just need some opinions as far as craftsmanship is concerned. I am in the process of putting a kit on my car, but the kit i ordered sucks. so rather than throwing a piece of shit on my car, i am working as hard as i can to make it the best it can be. I am fiberglassing and bondoing the kit directly to my car. which means no gaps, no lines, nothing. Its a lot of work, but i think im getting it pretty well. I just want some opinions from outside sources who have seen worse, and better, but can give me a hint as to how i am doing. and for those who are going to criticize, i know altezzas are played out, my wing is way too big, and the decals are stupid. so now thats out open, let me know what you think of the installation so far on my rear bumper. thanks!

craftmanship only! its not bad at all man. i just hope the bumper is properly secured and its not just bondo filling in those gaps. bondo will crack.. so use as little bondo as u can. did u use any fasteners and fiberglass before u bondo'd it?

cough tezza's, kit, wing, decals rims gross cough cough

used fasteners and fiberglass before laying down the bondo. I know, i know... but this is what i like to see... and the wheels, its winter so you cant hold that against me, the weather's pretty rough in ohio... but honestly, i did it right when i started and used all the right stuff to make it strong...

good to hear. i'd say you did a very good job on the bumper then. it hsould hold pretty well.

if u take of the wing i think it'll help clean up the car alot. its just so huge and flashy that it really puts a :thumbsdown: on the car as a whole.

good luck with it

Not bad. I'm not sure about the fins underneath but overall, I say not bad at all.
