I hear yah and I guess I know what you need! I'm in the process of repainting my car by myself so hopefully I can help you when yours and mine are done. You'll be the next and last person that I'll work on that project to because I'm getting super busy lately.

It looks like it's coming along nicely. Can't wait to see it done. I would suggest shaving the sidemarkers since you're shaving everything else too. It'll look really clean.

No rush. I need to replenish my bank account once this is done. So you basically self taught yourself body work? You are going to rent a spray booth?

Make sure they pull the glass if you don't want to be upset when you get it back...It costs about $400 for a company to take it off and put it back on and it will be day and night difference.

I bought an EZ-Up picnic canopy as the paint booth. It worked great. But then I got too lazy to set it up and just painted it in the backyard patio. Worked good, too. There's 1 funny thing is the bugs love the paint smell and they come to it like the magnet, especially at night. Some of them fly over the newly painted part and just dropped poops on them. I had to redo it sometime. LOL.

I swung by for a surprise visit today and the kit is getting fitted on









Excuse the dirt and grime on the Tanabe exhausts but they are a bit too short for the kit so its going to need some modification done at the muffler shop after

That kit is sick!!! I'm going to be picking up a set of their side skirts next week. It's a no brainer if you ask me, $300 for some beautiful Shine skirts or more money for OEM skirts. It's not rocket science if you ask me

I am thinking of getting the rear pipes (toward the front of the car) cut and have a 1 inch long pipe inserted to extend it and then re-do the brackets.
