So it still is stormin out here so I just went outside and snaped a quick pic of the car so you guys could see it. Agian please keep in mind that the car is not clean so I appologize for that. Couple of things we cut stock springs to lower the car to the height that I wanted. It rides like a stock car and has exactly the wheel gap I was looking for, and now you can see the new wheels on the car. 18 inch ASA JH8's I love the look of a 5 spoked liped rim. Oh ya the some stuff was on back order until tuesday of next week, front bumper, grill, and spoiler. As soon as they get here the car will head to the bodyshop. The side skirts and rear bumper should be getting here today! By the way it looks like that I will have total 13,000 total in this whole project including buying the car. Though that does not include me trading my 1996 cbr for the paint and body work. So if you include that it will be right around 15000 or so.

Well I'm getting ready to go up to the body shop to see the side skirts, and the rear bumper. The body guy told me that they are going to need some work to make them look perfect. I certainly hope that they are legit veilside. Anyways the rest of the stuff should be shipped tommorow. I'll keep you guys updated.

Well he rear bumper and side skirts look pretty good, though they will still need to be test fitted to be sure that there in good shape. I still haven't re ieved my other body parts. I'm staring to get a little upset there not here yet. Though as soon as they do this be will happen very fast.
