you should redo the regular red with "red satin". they have it at the car paint store. they look nice how they are and will look 100x better once the front bumper is painted.

and people have told me i should get a camber kit, but i've got mad jdm tuckin yo! like 1" of tire is under the fender, if i had 0* camber i'd have to cut out some fender lol. i'm dropped like 3.5", and i would go lower but then it would be straight un-drivable on the bumpy *** roads in west seattle

it's not bondo. however there was bondo on the bumper when i first got the car.. bondo, on a plastic bumper?? wtf. i don't even know why thats there, i believe the car was painted at Maaco (worst place ever, my moldings, rain gutters, some of the weatherstripping, were all painted red =\) , but the white spot looks like it was getting the rattle can job and they ran out right at the end, lol

non existent still.. although, i'm for reals close this time.

charge piping- complete
turbo- clocked
oil pan tapped
injectors ready for wiring
FMIC still mounted
manifold- all welded in HMT glory

all i'm waiting on, is a ------- flange =\ turbo outlet flange for the charge piping, courtesy of Aaron Weir, is in the mail, in transit.

it arrives, spend 5 seconds welding it to the charge piping, hook all the ---- up, BOOST

when you get your car painted, you should get the left over paint and repaint the lip, so that the red on your car and lip match.

I just have this thing with rims and car same color, but different at the same time. Personally I can't stand it.

But it looks good doggie
