the paint is really cool...but the kit just does not flow. its still nice don't get me wrong but just some things to point out. the rear flares seem to go too high up in the back. also the front flares look weird since the flare does not continue onto the front bumper. you say you go through kits but with a project like this i would recommend to stick with just one and have everything molded together so it can flow better. there is obviously a lot of time and work into this car so you shouldn't slack off in any area.

That does look really good... could you take a shot further back. I'd like to see the car's side profile and the front at an angle just further back. haha, that sounded so demanding, but I seriously want to see more. Love the look man... good job.

Costed alot of blood and sweat.

Tony did the flares himself and painted the car himself as well. Quite a handy guy that tony is. But the paint itself was too ****ing expensive.

i think the color is good, but i dont like the front bumper, and i think u need sideskirts, and i think fenderflares are kinda half *** widebody. good work on being original though.

yes, i wanna say im the first lancer to do this, but i cant...some guy did it in the east coast..

so its safe for me to say, the first lancer ever in the WEST coast to flare.
yeah... there was this guy with a rio red lancer who had fender flares... he's in this forum.

well anyway, good job on your fender flares... its rare to see lancer have those.

Sweet ride. I like the originality but the rear could use some work. There is a gap between the rear bumper and the flare. Oh well, it still looks awesome.

very sweet lookin, wider is definitely better, but like the other guys said, maybe you should stick with one kit, then you can fill the rest of the bodylines and it would flow so much smoother, just a thought.

props on doing the work, but im just not feeling it at all. maybe it would be better like zlancer said, continuing it into the bumper and then molding it all. If you go through so many body kits stop modding the car and putting them on. With that amount of work, id be careful as hell driving my car.

Anyone buying the kit from you would have to repaint the kit anyway, and removing some FG and Bondo is not too difficult if the original structure lies beneath. Just my .02
yeah, thats something to think about.
i dunno if import trenz sells off ebay. alot of their distributors buy their stuff in bulk and sell it off there, they just use import trenz's pictures. they are a manufacturer, i dont think they are doing that badly that they need to resort to ebay just to pay bills.
its an ever changing show car tho. gives me somethign to do. if i was 100% finished with the car..then there would be absoolutly no reason for me to keep it anymore.
