Lookin' good! I miss those mounting bumps on the fenderwells, though. Makes the engine look small. Not enough junk piled on top of the fenderwells. :)
Maybe so, but eventually one day the addition of a swirly boi and associated piping will help occupy the real estate and fill the voids.

Been a pretty productive couple days guys! Yesterday I finally got the wheelwells painted and they turned out great! Sorry Clutch, no red wheelwells buddy. There are a few minor spots I missed, but I'm no pro and they look 1000X better than stock!
Today I was able to get the custom carbon fiber fender to core support braces made. Then, decided to go ahead and install the wheelwells. It went about as smooth as I could've hoped for, except a couple bolt locations I'm having trouble getting to.
Figured I was on a roll so I installed the carbon fiber insert panels, air filter, and fender braces. The engine bay is like 95% finished now I believe which is crazy compared to how it looked a year ago!!!! Here's a few pics, I'm tired and turning in!!!!

Now that is something to be proud of!! Congrats! (y) (y)

My work truck got sick yesterday, so it had to go into the shop. That allowed me to get a vacation day today, soooo I started tackling the spoiler repair and glad I did. There were alot of pinholes that were missed during the initial bodywork.
I hammered down, used some kitty hair for the big repair crack, then 3m finishing glaze for the pinholes, sanded it all, then sprayed 3 coats of SEM high build primer. It'll likely take a couple more rounds of primer between sanding, but it looks way better already. I'd like to have it ready for paint by end of week, but we'll see how it goes.

Yeah, probably back to charcoal. It might make people pause thinking it wasn't supposed to be there in the first place if it wasn't the same color as the trunklid. Wait...it's NOT supposed to be there. It's a Chebby part!

Go back with that same color. My final answer.
