Thanks guys, side skirts + front bumper + valances will be done this week. I have to do a little more fiberglass tomorrow on the valances and front bumper....then that'll do it for all of that shit.

wow, just read threw the whole thread..soo much work gone into this thing its not even funny...
you have my dream wheels (though yours are a bit wider then i wanted). the car sounds like a beast and reminds me of my friends semi-peripheral ported 20b at idle they way the cam loopes...sound wise. the color choice is perfect for the wheel color even though i do agree with Silviaguy240 in that i am generally not one for mismatched colored cars but your mis matched colors did look good and made it look like a tracked car... nonetheless, your car is FUCKING SICK....cant wait to see the outcome with the paint and wheels (^_^)

I was really happy with how the aero looked slapped on the car, especially with the side skirts shortened.
I shortened them ~3/4 of an inch, which is the width of a piece of electrical tape. So I put a piece of dark green electrical tape across them and cut them up with a grinder. Then I taped them together and test fit them on the car. They ended up being just about perfect. I didn't notice, but the line on the side skirt matches up with the line on the front bumper, and the URAS valances are perfectly level with the side skirts. My wheels stick out enough for the slight difference in shape between the valances and side skirts to not be too big of a deal.....no picture of the valances being tested. I've already fiberglasses the side skirts back together, and that sucked ass.
