Thanks for the kind words everyone. California98Civic, thank you especially and this means a lot to me. Although, while I do think the quality of the kammback is acceptable, there are a couple minor cosmetic problems that are hard to see in the pictures, but that I do plan to fix in the future. The first being the bow in the center of the kamm where it meets the roofline. This was caused by the heat from welding on the mounting points which made the aluminum warp slightly. It is also slightly uneven on the top of the kamm, above the mounting points, from where I ground down the penetrating welds. Some filler bondo and a little sanding should take care of these issues though, and I plan to work on it again soon... hopefully. None of these issues should affect the functionality though, they are just little things that bug me.
