That's really cool!

Are you going to finish it up with GT-4 fogs and turn signals?

This project is looking great; the new bumper is growing on me but I think I need to see it painted before it really grabs me.

Can't wait for the next update.

something about a daughter with a learners permit and rims/custom paint/drop/body kit/ rare side skirts just doesnt mix IMO... I would atleast rethink lowering it... curbs can do a lot of damage to a show car nice work though, looking forward to seeing progress as it gets revived!

The only time I have had a problem with curbing my skirts was when I switched to stock wheels.
With the right wheel offset the lotus skirts are tucked out of the way pretty good, assuming the drop is only
1.5 inches or so it should be pretty bullet proof. Nice progress, I can't wait to see the finished product.
