with those lights and that front mouth it almost looks like the rksport street fire body kit for the 96-02 sunfires from the mouth up and thats not a bad thing.

As good as it looks, I noticed your front impact beam is no longer on the car for the nose you are creating.... Or am I just blind?

You are correct. Once the nose is fabricated, I will either modify the existing one to fit or create a new one.
To all: thanx for the comments.

The louvered hood vents are bad ass. I would like to do something similar, just more squarish ------------------

Thank you...
I was originally going to do them flat, but i got the "never tried it before bug" and voila...
To make the flat pieces, I was going to sandwich the fiberglass between two sheets of glass. To make the curved pieces, I sandwiched the FG between two 5 gallon bucket halves.
Then made the basic shape out of cardboard and matched it to the blank from the mold, traced it out and cut with a Dremel tool.
The hardest part was matching the curvature for the two sides.
The louvres are glued in using the SMC panel adhesive, then blended in with short hair plastic filler.

As can be seen in a couple of the above shots, I'm also redoing the headlights. No more popups. I'm flushmounting them and moving them forward. I will be fabricating fiberglass light buckets to support two 60mm Hella halogen lights, and vacuum forming my own acrylic/polycarb lenses (How? don't ask yet...).
Here is the start...
Getting ideas:
Headlight covers glued in:

This is my biggest complaint about the flush mounts that just go in the stock opening. They always look too far back to me. This is cool.

Same here. This should also help alviate the dark stop in front caused by standard flushmounts.
