Some of you have seen this before. But here it is again.
I decided to do a little work on my car while I waited for my turbo parts to arrive. I was messing with the lip for the past 2 years. Made 4 prototypes out of foam that I threw out. Then Cianci's lip came out and I almost gave in and just bought theirs, but it didn't have the lines that I was looking for. Not trying to knock their lip because it looks great on a Stealth, but on a 3000GT, it seemed a bit off. I wanted a 3 piece to go across the entire rear deck. So I kept working. It's still not painted, but it's close. Also moved my way to the hood to do some Angry Eyes with my 99 head lights. They came out amazing. Sorry, for all cell phone pics. Ill do a photoshoot someday.
Anyone thinking about making their own lip... DONT! Took FOREVER to get a shape that I liked. Countless hours grinding, fiberglassing, grinding some more, refiberglassing, bondo, sanding util my fingers bled... You get the picture. Forgive the messy garage. It just kept getting dirtier and dirtier. Its clean now.

    Damn good job..
    I wanted to do something very similar, but less height and more depth instead (make it push farther back)..

    The hood looks great also.. Awesome job!

    Am I out of line to say it kind of reminds me of a 3rd gen RX-7 now? lol

    So what ever happened to the old VR4 wing? Hint Hint. Great look, are you going topaint the lip red as well or leave it black so it gets noticed better?

    Its getting painted as soon as the summer comes to an end. The 99 spoiler was sold 2 years ago, my active aero spoiler was given to my painter (he owns a Stealth RT/TT)

    Nice! I like the 3 piece bill. I hope it goes into production!

    Very Nice, Intrax Springs drop it 1.7 all around. Is that an Evil Eye 575 Hood?

    Not sure I quite understand what you are asking. The 575 hood is from Deft Racing. In a couple of the pictures in the original post, you can see that I fiberglassed the hood to make the eyelids.

    Ah very well, I might just ask for a how to on that.
