Question what do you guys think of my car?

just thought i show you guys some pics of my journey doing my front end
let me know what you think and any changes?



fitted the front bar was not a 5min job but come good in the end :evil3:



got bonnet done and just rubbed back after it was hi filled :



front bar and bonnet now hifilled and rubbed back for paint :




in the panel shop getting ready for paint (it helps wen your dad is a spray painter) :




dad painting it with just a blue for the base to save on using to much moonsoon blue for no reason



the next day outside ready to fit everything back on :



added herrod decals and fitted all my driving lights mesh etc

this is the finished product for these mods but didnt have time to wash and polish
:

well i guess i was lucky here is the cost

front bar on ebay $400

sold my standard bar for $450

driving lights $44 from supercheap and made my brackets from right angle aluminium

bonnet $370 from my mate who is a fibreglasser

paint $150 that was for 1ltr of hifill 500ml hardner, 1 litre of cobra moonsoon blue 1ltr of hardner and 1 ltr of clear

got a little extra just incase plus my dads a painter so good to have some spare

so all up it cost me $520 or $970 if i didnt sell my front bar

i was very happy with the price considering the prices of the bonnets and front bars on ebay if i was to pay there prices it would have been close to $2000 easy

also my bonnet is not fibreglass it is my orignal dont like the fibre glass bonnets and just cars doesnt either lol

thanks guys for the comments didnt think i would get much feedback on it but looks like i was wrong lol
