[QUOTE=jdmpalace;377187]Who is doing your side ?[/QUOTE] i'm doing it myself, worst case i have to send it out.
here is what i did for entertainment during free time mold a monitor on the passenger side. pic was take at night time [IMG]http://www.vipstylecars.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=21&pictureid=95[/IMG]
Well, if you molded the monitor then you must be good with fiberglass, can't wait to see it. I have been trying to find the right shop here in Nor-Cal for a year now (I know it's not hard but I also don't want to pay crazy amount to get the sides done since I already have a skirt I can run with factory panels but it just doesn't look right with the kit)

Steve that's a interesting monitor setup by the glove box. Can't wait to see it. Heard about the build.
Are you going to do a flip down or anything as far as monitors go in the back?

Loving the progress. I have to ask though, are you going with a Single or 2-tone paint? Always been a sucka for 2-ton eggs (black top, greyish from the bumper down). If only the wife would ditch her Chevy van for an Egg.:sad:
