I think overall it is a good job. The exterior work came out very good. Maybe some more freshening of the interior. I prefer the stock look under the hood where possible and the same stock look as well exterior. But that is my opinion only. Even if it has 500 horsepower to it. Then it is just a sleeper !

Do you know what I love about the exterior of your car ? ....Everything !
The rear bumper is sweet, the nose is awesome, and the rear wing looks great!
(I don't like the painted strut towers and coolant tank personally)...you asked.!

ok,here are photos in different steps of the transformation :

initial car (bought 5years ago) :



after this i made different repairs and changes (redone engine,interior ,repainted in black ( bad painter first time)).

this is from before deciding to redo front bumper and rear wing:





and here it starts the fun

foam filling the gap for shapping


after cutting the foam


after FG and installing the lip


finished product with turbo turnsignal (in this turnsignal i have instaled the daylight led and also the turnsignals led lights)


now, on the rear side removed what u see in the upper photo and start fabricating the rear wing (aluminium sheet and FG)




and finished product:


and this is my homemade 968 door handle

are you still running the stock exhaust with the S/C?

then yes you would notice a difference with an exhaust upgrade.

Those turn signals are the best integration of LED's I've seen yet. Could you provide some more info on how you did those? Do you think it would be possible to install that sort of setup in a factory turn signal housing without any irreversible modification?

Since Audi first did the led daytime running lights, I dig it. For safety as well as looks.

I always thought about mounting the led even on our na's close to the fog lights. Really dig how yours came out on the turbo nose though. Are they just led running lights? How do you signal then? (or do you have to worry about such nonsense in Europe)

I dig how this guy did led's as a slight mod:
