get a new bumper.... cut out like that looks bad IMO



and im sure that strut bar isnt doin anything, looks like i could snap it by just pulling on it.... it should go to all 3 bolts shouldnt it? just looks halfassed, considering a good strut bar is like 29 bucks

the GM front tower brace only connects to two of the strut mount bolts. a strut brace is a strut brace. i think this one looks bad, but i dont see why it wouldnt work.

Everybody has different tastes buddy. Not EVERYONE is going to like your car, there's gonna be alot of critizism on this website, just do the car how YOU like it, not others on here!

Yea if you post a car on here it's going to recieve both positive and negative criticism. Personally I don't think its that bad, just need a drop bad.

i think the cutout would look better if you had the ls front
i like the wheel style
and the strut tower brace has like an industrial look to it, which i kinda like

I have a few comments:

1 - I personally hate diamondplate so I hate what you did there...

2 - Good LORD is that engine / rad clean... cleanest car I've seen in a long time man you must detail that with a toothpick. Great job.

3 - The paint job on the rad cover looks great. It was the first thing I noticed.

Overall you have an eye for detail... I'm on the fence about the lack of SOMETHING in the front bumper under the hood there but I think it looks very "Sentra Spec-V"-ish.

Keep workin' at it.

well, the front bumper is temporary till i find a good deal on a LS front clip. last year the car was in a fender bender, and i wanted to see what it would look like without the grills, so when i fixed the bumper i cut them out and went to work filling holes.

but yes, soon something else will be on. yeah, i expect to be critisized, just was shocked it got that much hate

Question mark should have been dropped.... This is definately not 56k friendly

Nice and clean (and I'm not referring to dirt/grease)

And I back Orange04Eco's statement.... everyone has different opinions, don't let one or 2 negative ones keep ya from showing off what you have done so far

HEy that cars front bumper looks familiar. HAHAHAA Fender bender, HAHAHAHAHA

Lookin good Ryan, I love the open front look. If you had a intercooler in that lower opening it would be better looking though. LOL

You are by far the most detailing fool I know..... hehehe

what? it did bend your fender, didnt it james???? anyway, as i said, a new LS front bumper is going on it. will be same as stock with the exception of the lower grill being open, like this one is now. and yeah, someday maybe a intercooler will be down there, you can get good deals on saab 933 exhaust manifolds and turbos...muahahaaah...

the diamond plate isnt for everyone, i will agree with that. i do like the "industrial" look it adds, and when the whole under the hood is accented with it, there will at least be a theme, even if it is a controversial one
