A little repositioning of the hangers and mufflers, angled the tips off of the muffler.

Always wanted a Mercedes style grille without the emblem, wish there was an actual aftermarket piece for us.
Are you going to mold on a different bumper as well?

Just a quick sneak peak of the grille idea. lots of shaping and finish work needs to be done in these pic but it gives an idea.

My car needs to be repainted, my clear coat is coming off on the hood and roof.

I'm thinking satin black with clear coat applied to certain trim.

That Green though, very nice.

Honestly, for the price of doing that, and the special care with satin/flat clears you would be better off with a quality wrap job

I would suggest adding a bit more green flake to really make it pop!
It would saturate it the color a bit more.
Not a lot maybe a 50g bag to the whole thing?

Eventually yes. I plan on pulling the motor out at some point this summer for a day or 2 for mockup of long tubes and will do it at that point
