I really like the rear end of your car, the rest of the car looks really good and I reckon you've done a good job with it, but the front end, in my opinion, does look s**t. I do reckon you have a nice car though.

EDIT: I think it's just the twin headlights that I dont like, IMHO, Twin headlights look s**t unless it has an XR front.

Mitch, you have a lot of air trapped in that fiberglass, you need to roll it all out to get decent strength. Take more time and more resin. If you don't have a glass roller, use a stiff brush and dab it down till you remove all the air bubbles.
