I just got off the phone with Alex talking about in detail about this build and WOW is he going above and beyond. Attention to detail and preserving the factory body lines. Thanks again for your time.

Wheel specs are 18x12.5 -44 rear, 18x10 -14 front with 20mm spacer (-34 effective). IIRC, the S14 FLCA pushes out the track a bit as well. Anyone know the exact amount?
Yellow tape is the radius line. |

I wasn't really feeling how the front bumper was turning out so I created a mockup again in photoshop, showed my body guy, then had it redone. Originally, the bodylines were slanting down and I really really did not want my bumper to suffer from the same thing as the original where it appears to be sagging due to sloping bodylines. The other problem was that the entire bumper was pretty much half an inch off the ground and keep in mind the whole drivetrain isn't even in yet - basically it would've been undriveable so I had the entire bottom section "lifted". The sides were done via cutting, and the middle part was sectioned, pulled in (no more sharp angle), then fiberglassed together.
Before: Rear after radius: |

Never a let down with the updates. Love it, glad you decided to change the lines and over all flow of that front bumper.

TROOF!!!!
The enovativ s14 was way ahead of its time. Op are you affiliated with mastermind? I've been trying to get ahold of them to order parts but no one answers the email address on their website and I don't have a phone number for em. Excellent build btw. Car is gonna be jaw-dropping!!! |

Good progress on the front bumper. Bottom got lots of work, added in body line underneath the headlight. We also added some filler to the fender/bumper gap and I'm trying to decide how I want to re-do that area. The line you see is sharpie'd in.

The sharpie line is where the bumper and fender will mount up?
And body work looks great! Make sure you tub your bay. All this detail without tubs will make your bay look like something's is missing. |
