I used the original S5 bumper. The rest of the kit is a knock off gp sports. The rear was filled in with fiberglass and a thin layer of bondo. The kit is fiberglass so it was easy. The front bumper has a shineauto front lip on.

I really like the look of not having the side moulding and shaving the emblems on the back,
I think I will leave the key hole and the bumpers and fenders separated not all moulded together.

sexindarex your car looks awesome. I'd like to see the front though you dont have any pics of it.

I've never been a big fan of shaved. I think it makes the car look too mundane.

hatch unlatch method - what did you do?

Hey, I have already shaved the hatch key. Was going to figure out a pull cord or something later to open it, but was curious on what those of you who have already done this came up with?

Thanks'

TFitz.

Couple pics of my project:
Not the best pics, but all I have for now

I don't really like the shaved mouldings but i don't not like it.. it looks REALLY bad though when everything is shaved except the front bumper

You could use the lever next to your seat.

Yeah, ok, Gee, thanks - not sure if you were being sarcastic, or trying to help.
In any event, since I shaved the key hole, the front hatch lever no longer works either. The pull cord may have been attached to the lock mechanism as well. I was assuming that would be the way to get into it as well, but no go.

If anyone has done this, appreciate the help, otherwise I'll figure out my own way.

Tfitz.
