They're rampant here, still prefer the look of Balt front end to the g5/pursuit

Picking up my intense teal today, gotta strip the orange off soon

Can't wait to see it! Couldn't you just go right over the orange if it's in good enough shape? That would make peeling it next time a heck of a lot easier.

Good to hear. Ugh just want this to get started already!

All I need now are fogs, the clips for the rear lip and a lnf front grille. Anyone know the cheapest place for the clips? Looking around locally tomorrow before I'm forced to order. Excited

I would go over the orange if you can. It'll really help with coverage. Maybe grab a can or two of white as a base just so the orange base doesn't distort the teal color at all.

And here are a couple LNF grills I found. Didn't know if you needed top or bottom but here's both.

Appreciate the help fellas, I'll grab a can of white if I can find one.

$150 for a grille without shipping I wanna jump off a bridge, when partsgeek comes back in stock I think I'll order from there, ship to a internet friend in the us, then get him to ship me it. There's is only $60 but no shipping to canananananada.

QUESTION:

How should I go about giving the new bumper a Evo mod? I was thinking just black dip over it once it's cured so the tape won't rip it off. But any overspray or mess ups would be pretty shitty

Just tape it off. That is all I did. Turned out great.

Yeah just tape it off. Gotta peel the tape before the last coat of dip is dry though or the tape and dip will cure together.

Just a heads up too.. some people have had bad experiences when dipping over brand new paint. Sometimes it ruins the clear coat. Not saying you shouldn't do it, just want you to be aware. Sounds like you've got some cool plans in mind so I can't wait for zee pics!

Painting is really easy. Practice makes perfect. I find plastic to be the hardest to do. It is time consuming.

I thought about doing a black Evo mod on my car awhile ago. Never got around to it.

Any body ever play around with the electric lime green?
