          Nice progress. Wonder if the us bf chassis can accomidate those headlights,hood and grill. You bf guys might want to look into that. Would be a sweet upgrade. Headlights remind me of a 90-93 integra. Always liked those

                  Yeah... the Etude stuff doesn't swap over well.. the lines don't really match up well. Now if I could find a Laser TX3 front end to swap to... thats a different story.
