This is how the front end was when I got the car.

And I had to change that. The guy I got the car from gave me the broken piece of the front end but it was still missing one side. I had to fabricate that from scratch.

The piece he gave me(it was broken in multiple places)

Threw on some flat black before a cruise in. Still needs some tweeking, smoothing, and sculpting but I think it is much better.

By that I think you mean that the piece I had to make from scratch is more rounded than the stock piece? I didn't care for the harsh line of the stock one so when it comes time to paint, I'll be rounding the other side as well.
