Sand and re-clear CF hood

Total was $600 for the paint work.

Before


After
Damn rain came out of nowhere..

Hood has since been gapped better

This is the rear lip I am working on installing, maybe tomorrow

I think I may paint the diffuser area black on the rear lip, waiting to see how it looks on the car.

Btw. Traded my retros for the hood, working on building a new set now, should have the done soon!

 

Looks great! Im gunna swing by in the morning, if i time Ill pop my rear springs on and give you a hand, ive got to be back on cape by 11:30-12pm for a wedding though.

 

Moar pics I took today..




Still gotta do the rear lip, it got to hot and muggy today

 

looks goood

 

IMO those wheels need plastidip!

 

They do not.

 

I agree with chevygirl. I only did mine because they looked bad and I cant afford powdercoat. yours look good.

 

I really only like black wheels on white and red cars

 

Looks terrific Andrew.

And ignore the plasti-dipped guy over there in the corner.

 

In pics, looks like you got a good deal for the bodywork.

 

do you like them rain gaurds? im not a fan of how they go all the way down by the mirror

 

Me? Like plastidip? How did you know?

 

Dude as I said ive always loved your car. Now I love it 1000x more. with that rear lip on its going to look sex. those polished IRL wheels are mint as is against the silver. looks great.

 

I just noticed you went from retros to stockers, why?

edit: nevermind, you traded for the hood lol

 

^ yah, was a deal i couldnt pass up.

Thnaks guys, loving the car as it is right now, needs a little more to be perfect. rear lip is being a bitch, but ill get it.

i do like the raingaurds, not the biggest fan of how they come all the way down, but i dont get windsheild run off in the car, and they are the in-channel ones, so they dont look as bulky as the Autozone ones.

I drive the car everyday, so i they are there for use, not for looks. 186K miles and still moves pretty well, granted its N/A.

 

holy **** closing in on 200k! damn. what about now that the body work is done. buy a second motor to build plus boost?

 

looks great man congrats! glad to finally see her shine! dont plastic dip the rims!!

 

^agreed

 

I like plastidip and even I agree those wheels look better how they are lol

car looks great! that's the lip im thinking of getting also for my sedan if I can't find a ss rear lip soon. Thinking painting the diffusers would really look good

 

Kevin. its been considered. i have too much going on to start something like that just yet. maybe next spring i can start, around tax season...

once the bumper is on, i will attemp to black out the diffuser area

 

so that lip legitly doesnt fit your bumper??????

 

Looks good other than the back bumper definitely looks like it's missing something... The lip! Get it on!

 

lookin good man

 

nice!!!

 

Its On!!



not sure how i feel about it tho.
