Man, what an nice looking project. Who would have thought that we'd have "summer bumpers" and "winter bumpers"!

You've inspired me to get off my butt and start work on a new feature for EM for threads just like this: a "registry" of mod projects (where you click a button in any thread documenting a project and that adds it to the list).

Moderated or not?

I thought about something like this last week, but never said anything about it... my idea was basically to have a registry feature that one could add his or her (hah) own mods to, but it would be global view...

This way, the user could add his blog-type build in pictures and posts, and set up an index to each section of a project (if it's warranted), while users looking for mod projects can click a link, similar to the 65+ Vehicle modifications for better fuel economy - EcoModder.com link, and the resultant page would deluge them with links and preliminary images that would give a good idea what the mod was about, like a library page of mods.

Click the mod that you're interested in, it takes you to the build blog, with a link to the original thread for each project, if the reader is interested in the extraneous comments and such.

I wonder if there is a wiki template for this?

Looks awesome. I like the asymmetric hole... it gives it a futuristic look

yeah, I have summer and winter wheels, summer and winter bumpers, and summer and winter intakes. Maybe I need a summer and winter car?

I will definitely get pics of the dam up when I finally decide on what shape I'm going for.

I'm either going to cop out and just do the garden edging (since it will be plowing a bit of snow) or maybe something a little more appealing, if I find some ABS that is shaped properly.

Very clean and stock looking. This gets me brainstorming on how to do my integra bumper.

That's quite a contrast of items on the front end, ranging from race car to eco car.

I actually spent a few hours a time on it over a ten day period. I was helping a friend coat a wood floor so I would have 4-6 hours in between coat applications to work on it.
