Lol, getting there. A couple more things to do yet. Then I think I'm out of mods
.
The above kit is one I bought from Gammalex, the Win Racing II fiberglass kit. I had it repainted and the mesh powdercoated in black chrome. I also got some matching mesh and had it done in black chrome for the grill and to put behind the L-sportline rear spoiler.
One other thing I did to the show was to paint the plastic engine covers. I had thought about getting them covered in CF stuff, but was worried that it wouldn't match the real CF RMM engine cover. If we'd painted them black to match the car, they would have still looked stock (which are black), so I had the shop match the color of the TRD STB and paint them with that cast grey cover. Don't have any really good pics of it, but here's one where you can sort of see one.

WOW I think those judges need to get their EYE'S
checked. It shouldn't be about all the bling and crap you can stuff in to your car, I think
you have hit the nail on the head with your car smooth, classy, and very clean to detail.
Definitely you have a real head turner I can't see nothing for you
what class did you enter? You got my vote

That new bumper looks great Dave. Cant go wrong with a big opening with the IC showing behind it. I also cant believe you didnt take home a trophy. Everyone knows its not always the best that wins though.
