I should be making some for sell but it will not be in the near future. I have to finish the side skirts - plugs, molds and parts. When I get that done I will have to do my interior - Mr.Mikes Seats and Door panels. When my car is complete I will have time to make more parts. I will keep posting my progress. I have a brother and a friend or two who may want to help, we'll see what happens.

Those are the wheels and tires I plan to use for the street. SportMax wheels 17x7 front and 17x8 rear, Kumo ECSTA MX tires 225/45ZR17 front 255/40ZR17 Rear I will buy a second set with lighter racing wheels and compition tires (same sizes) for autocrossing.

Got any pictures of the whole car with that front bumper?
Sorry that's the only picture I took with the bumper on the car. We took the bumpers to the body shop today and snapped a couple of pics of the wing mounted.
They put the hood on, notice they removed the PONTIAC from the driver's headlight door.
Hope you don't mind, but i had Custom2m4, do a little photochop version of what your car might look like chopped. (note he had to use another notchie due to problems with your pic).
At any rate here it is with a liberty or two hehehe.
That's cool thanks. I have wanted a choptop but I decided against it. I want that extra head room for when I wear a helmet while autocrossing. We'll have to photochop it again after the paint shop is done.
Yeah that looks real good! Wish I could retain the trim but I only got a 84 nose to work with (which doesnt line up that nice with the civic's) so I skipped the trim and went a different route. So again: nice work!

Yup. I bought a civic chin spoiler (it was ABS plastic), made a mold of it and a fiberglass part and some extra pieces for the extensions and molded it to the nose....that was some work but you already have the right shape to start with.
No major update yet. I went to the body shop today. The rear bumper has been done and the front is almost finished. They work on the insurance collision repair cars mostly. They can take their time on my car, I do not depend on it for transportation. He did say they should be painting the stripes next week.
Wow, that Lotus Chrome Orange is a sexy color indeed! I love seeing stuff like this come together.
It's not the Lotus color. Looks about the same. It's a custom mix Dupont Paint. Can't wait to get it out in the light. My side skirts are still plugs I need to make the molds and parts. Time to heat up the Driveway Shelter this week end.
