New metal on. Beautiful. Welded on the underside and behind the bumper and some kind of epoxy attaching it to the fender. No bondo used.

Nice job, just curious. What kind of metal did you use for replacement, how thick is it?

They are premade peices as thick as oem. The body guy says they came from denmark, and costs about 80 canadian a side. I'm up in Canada so it's impossible to get an older hatch with no rust because of all the stupid salt they put down in winter.. So I fixed up this one and am getting it rust proofed every year to keep it good.

Spent arount 2.5 k canadian including the cf hood, mirrors, sides, lip etc. I already have the rear disk conversion, integra rad etc etc so its was not worth it for me to try to get a cleaner car and switch everything over.
