July Modified is out!

I got my copy tonight. I was really late on getting it, but the issue just reconfirms it being my favorite FD I've seen as of yet.

It's cool how close our community is! I just KNEW that whoever owns that car would post on here to show and tell!

Great job on the car! I only have one slight quip about it: Where did you get the front bumper? The fitment doesnt seem to be too great, and it brings down the car. The bumper design itself is awesome, but i think it would look even better if you could mess with the fit a bit more, and get it to line up better!

Apart from that, A++++

EDIT: I double checked both the online, and the magazine pics:

The online one doesnt seem to make it stand out as much, and looking at the magazine again, and seeing the fender to bumper gaps, I think that the actual problem might be the carbon hood rather than the bumper...

And then there is also that pic of the car with no front end, what happened there?

We atually improved the fit shortly after the photo... imo that wasn't the best pic.. the entire kit is made by the same company so it SHOULD fit better.

we took off the front end to get it on a flat bed truck, after the rear end exploded.

How goes the reconstruction?

zonblitz · 06-13-2008, 08:37 PM

actually well, I was going to post some pics tonight.

It's all ready for paint! Painting begins Monday!

Max777 · 06-13-2008, 10:24 PM

That's nice to hear! I would love some more pics of it! No matter what, I still think it's a gorgeous car!

zonblitz · 06-13-2008, 11:12 PM

Ok, here are some of the nasty ones and a few rebuild pics...

First, the bad...

zonblitz · 06-13-2008, 11:24 PM

It strangely resembles the car from fantasy island!

zonblitz · 06-13-2008, 11:44 PM
