Finished Pictures of My Cobalt Blue Widebody Conversion

I picked up my car finally on Friday after a long but productive 5 weeks at Venice Collision Experts in Culver City. Raj and Vick at VCE did a beautiful job on my car, and the craftsmen ship is top notch. I have dealt with many body shops in my life, and this is the first time in my life that I had a plesant experience. Raj updated me constantly every few days with explanations and pictures of the progress. I was told a completion date, and the car was finished on time. I have never had a body shop deliver any car to me when they promised. With their help I was able to share the step by step construction experience with all the members here at 6speed. Thanks for all the support and comments during the build. Now here are the pics

I´m usually not a fan of this kind of mods, but I really appreciate your experience and passion for your project. I´ve been following your project since the begining, and it´s really great to see that the final result is more than you were expecting.

Anyway, I see a little gap between the rear lights and the the rear bumper, is there anything they can do to correct it?

Congrats and please, post MORE pics.

I thought you were nuts, but in the end it looks very sharp.

Happy motoring!
