Or should I go with a stock hood??


Now this kit comes with the riciest body pannels you can think of so I need to make my own '99 front end, here is what I have right now...

Little more of a close-up:

(I did use a Sharpie marker to make is blue so it would be easier to take a pic.)

Im pretty sure i got the same model kit when i was in CA. Never ended up finishing it though.

Added the "COP" I believe I have seen them called (on here)...

Keep in mind this is the rough draft.... Still needs work...

What is this anyways, are you making these pieces yourself or is it some model line? Need pics of the whole project :D

Exhaust time:

(These are RAW products, they still need to be painted, I know they aren't the right color....)

This is a Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX model car kit.. Everything comes in the kit, engine, interior, body, suspension... I'm making parts for it.. Example the "COP", exhaust maifold, from bumper to resemble a 1999 front end.

So most of this is supplied, other then that I am making parts for it..
