Here are some pics of my work in progress. Right now, we�re pretty deep in bodywork, but since I haven�t shared in a while, there are also some that aren�t dealing with bodywork. Angelfire sucks, so please just copy and paste these links into your browser.
These first 2 shots are of my modded IMRC cover. Based on the advice of other CEGers, I painted it a darker red with some metalflake. The picture doesn�t do it justice though. I dremeled out an oval section, and added some gunmetal grey grille material, along with the SE emblem from the trunk. I used polished stainless bolts and washers to put it back on.

You can also see the red Ford emblem I modded on the fuse box. The third pic shows the billet oil dipstick handle I made. It�s polished aluminum with two o-rings.

Using a flexible filler designed for urethane bumpers/fiberglass I shaved the large horizontal lines and also the license plate holes. A custom front plate mount is in the works.

I based my brackets on Matt�s (Speed Demon�s) design. However, mine are custom machined from solid blocks of aluminum and are much more durable and precise. All I need now are some stronger struts to support the weight of my spoiler. Thanks again, Matt.
