Nice work so far, mike. It'll beat the pants off of mine.

Suggestion for projectors: (you probably already thought of this) Cast a mold of the headlights and use clear resin to make the clear covers, then just build the light parts... and coat the inner lights with carefully laid tin foil... yeah... I'll talk to you more later.

Yea, its against my religion not to put a body kit on a car, or anything of the sort.

Thanks.

For the projectors, I am going to cast a copy of the actual covers that were attached to the car in the first place with clear resin. Then make the rest of the projector out of putty, and other materials.

UPDATE: I just put some putty on the hood, Ill try to have new pics tonight or tommorrow!

Yeah, that's what I meant. Cool, it'll be a challenge to build the backs of the lights, but it'll probably turn out good.

UPDATES:

Did anyone here want more pics? Hood is puttied up, the body kit is on its way, and the projectors are taking awhile but are going well.

More pics Below!

Yea, large pain. Im still not sure how Im going to make those. The turn signals will be a lot harder than the projectors.
