Overall plan is for the car to be a fun weekend cruiser. suspension, slight motor build, wheels, cheap paint job lol.
Something like this...
I kinda like these wheels I saw on eBay. Old school aftermarket 280z wheels.

Shaved the rear bumper. It's no professional job, but it's not bad either. Especially since I really had no idea what I was doing haha!
Started cutting:
Had to cut the bumper support to fit the newly shaped bumper cover:
Got in on after some trial and error:

I started looking at the piece of plastic I cut from the top of the bumper and I can't believe my eyes....it makes an awesome front lip. It's scary how well it's gonna fit. That will be my next update.
