Default Rainy Day Photos

Hey Guys,
Ive been a ghost on here the last couple months, mainly because my car's been getting painted and worked on and such so I havent really been motivated to come on and contribute. Im turning it back in tomorrow for some final touches. The rain let up for a couple minutes a lil while ago so I thought I'd snap some pix for you guys. Last time I posted pix of my ride I promised a rear shot and a couple interior shots. The rear isnt done so just keep that in mind, they still need to reinstall the spoiler, install my black pearl emblems, and take off the blue gloss they put over the cf strip on the rear lip. Enjoy!

**DISCLAIMER**
My camera sucks a** and totally messed up the color of my car. No matter how hard I try I cannot get a good picture of the ACTUAL COLOR of the car. Its candied paint n got a nice shade of purple in it and its a lot deeper and darker in person. I really need to get a SLR camera. Anywayz, just keep in mind the color looks a lot better in person.

I know, im not a huge fan of BWB either. I have the HKS Hi-Power right now, but im swapping it out for the Tanabe soon. Yea, that I know of im one of the first people with the Brembo kit. It retails for $5,500+ for front and back.

Car came out good and don't worry about the pictures as they came out good as well.

Which body shop did you use?
