I guess why not post up some pictures ... ive been working ahrd core on it now! i want this thing done and ready to roll to the body shop!!!

After doing some photoshoping i desided i wanted to get ride of the crazy opening it had. I did not just put kitty hair ( there is actualy minimal amounts on there) i did fiberglass underneathe it!








Now i know i may get flammed for this BUT i liked this version of the body kit more so ... i said screw it and went and did it!


Duck tape works good as a bandaid!!!


To show what the heck i am talking about and once you see the picture you will get what i am going after!


Let me know what you think! i am nearly done with the front bumper! a little more sanding here and there but VERY close to being done!

To tell the truth man, it resembles the BC2 kit A LOT. The rear will look hot as hell though.

The guy at Schram said that body kit was HEAVY as hell and had 2x4's in it. Obviously it was made for "SHOW ONLY". Glad your making it your own. Looks good so far.

Your comments about Turbo Sport Hoods, If you are reffering to my styled hood, it is from Class Glass, not Cut Glass.

i dont really feel like reading through the whole post and trying to find an answer so is this bodykit urethane or fiberglass or what?

its looking really good i have to say. at frist i was skeptical but its headed the right direction.

^^^ Its fiberglass. So Rawkfist, how about some measurments of the turbosport spoiler so I can start modding mine? It would be a big help, mostly need the height off the trunk to the top of the spoiler in the middle. That kit is turning out great man, and I agree that the other style rear looked better. Keep it up man.

Corsica Dude: Thank and sorry its like a BC2, but eather way if i mod it one way or the other it looks like some kit or another ...


James: yes but there are only really 2 x 4's in the spoiler ( weighed it in at 17 pounds). Sorry about the mess up! could have sware it was a cut glass but i re looked it up on A+ and yes you are right! sorry!

Dave: Thanks and i think its a thanks on the rear bumper? im kind of tired and things are not making full sence lol

666 Night Rider: Yes its fiberglass, I understand ... there were ALOT of people who were that way. Some are still the same, and some changed, and some came to the conclusion that its mine to do with what i want!

Wasp96: i will get you some measure ments once i get it out of the safe place in my dads bacement ...

Here you go Vince ( Big Poppa), Vince ( crazy IL guy!), Tom ( wrenchmonkey) and Curt ( skunk something ...) I came back back from Union Grove just for you


Sorry for the quality of the pictures, my camera i have been using took a American Airplane ride to Mexico with my mom for a week ... so i ahve to resort to my phone.... so bare with me!

I sanded the spot puddy down, and got it in some rattle can primer so i can block it off and make sure everything is all squared off ( will be coming off with the final sand down before paint)






As you can see the wound is heeling! does not look all that great but its a scab that will soon fully heal!




And for another fun yet scared @!#$less moment!!! changing up the exhaust openings
I plan on running dual 3 -3 1/2 inch tips because im not a huge fan of how the 4 inchers look when they hang part way out of the bumper. So im going to tuck them up and keep it nice and clean!!

The old part of the bumper is just sitting there ... its to late right now for me to break out to sand grinder ( hard to explain lol) to shape the holes to make fit jut right! once i have everything all squared up i will glass them in with more pictures ... ( tomorrow lol)

well even more updates, i got up WAY before i thought i was going to and said screw the naighbors and started grinding, dremeling, and what not. I got sick of just listening to the tools and went up in my room and made a home entertainment center out side lol!



anyways, i got the openings to were they fermly sit in the bumper by them selves, made sure they were close to squared off with the pillar and duck taped to maqke sure they did not move.





Wasp i will be getting more glassing brushes and will run and get the spoiler for your measurments

It's looking great Kyle, I'm glad you're re-doing the rear to look like the original one.

Manta: i will throw it away as soon as i sell the car! ( there is ALOT to still do )

Mark: thanks! you know you are like the first or second to know what goes on lol

Phewes: When you say got for the spoiler? I have nothing other then making a mold for lighter weight ( originaly weight in was 17 pounds) and thanks!

Thanks to every one else!! I would be posting up new crappy, grainny pictures but one i ran out of resin, and two it was raining. So if its nice tomorrow i will be posting more pictures of the actual bumper part (the exterior of the bumper will be blended into the rest) and possibly some sanding/body filler being done. All depends on how soon i get my new suply of resin and weather depending!

Y'know, I actually think the modded Turbosport now looks more like a GM Extreme with the side openings upside down. I'm liking all the work tho Wish I woulda known about the WI-J (+IL +IA) meet this past weekend before it happened, not after Haven't been to many J meets lately.
