I hear you there, but all the shifting you'd be doing was crazy.

Thank You! I am hoping by the end of next week I have the hood and fenders painted and reassembled. Then spend my weekend fitting the rest of the body kit.

Thanks jadu, I am not gonna lie I've had a handful of help from a couple awesome guys at work. I really am just fitting the ground effects at the moment, the fenders and hood are ready to paint. Then install those, get the bumper and side skirts fitted and reinforced. Then Block sand prime and hopefully they aren't to bad and then paint.

Thanks! It's defiantly a fun time doing all the work and learning techniques. I am not really sure on costs of each thing though.

Update: Fenders, Hood, B Pillars, and gas cap painted

Thanks guys, some more updates sorta. This weather lately is a speed bump for me.

-Fitted Side skirts, had to make a few cuts to them to make it perfect so I will be doing some fiber glassing to them.


-Deleted Push Button Start I once installed <- Dumb idea, why add a whole other step just to start your car?
-Finalized hurst pistol grip shifter linkage
-installed center console and figured to paint radio trim ivory to match.
-Put the wheel wells back together
-Changed the oil and took for a quick spin
