I decided to put a little twist to my Kizzy. Have a look and please post feedback and suggestions.
I am open to any suggestions. This is whole prohect is pro ably gonna take a year.
The red paint on the kit is just a guide coat to give me a better view of the angles.
Fiberglassing is hard work.
I'll make a complete album of the progress once everything is complete.

It's always hard to comment on a "work in progress", but do you have a plan of attack on how you're going to negotiate driveways and speed humps?

That actually is a good question, even though my kit is 4" above the ground, it is still scraping off some speedbumps and suddent change in road incline.
I will probably remove another inch and the length by 1 inch.

I've got the non Sport model, so slightly higher suspension (and I suspect less aggressive front bar with more clearance?) It's quite easy to get it scraping on driveways by accident. I'm guessing that sort of treatment would make a mess of any fibreglass.

Not a fan of the look but I respect the work that went into it!

Howzit PinoyMistah.

Looks like lots of hard work. Maybe rounding the front edges a bit would help prevent damage in case you hit something?

Leeward side?

Yes, definitely needs to round of the front ends. Probably having it shorter will prevent more scraping.

I'm on Wahiawa side.

Mahalo!
