BEAUTIFUL love the color, and the way u had them do the inside of the hood, too bad it's going away for c/f but that'll look even hotter. Very nice man, looks like an expensive paint job

word, thanks. I wasnt sure if it was going to come out right, but they amazed me. The man who did it, ( he's a mexican ) did very fine work, given the little english he spoke.

Thank you. I like the "stock" look, but i wanted a mysterious "race"/ "factory agression" look as well. That, and all my money went into the engine. Im broke now. turbo was a pain in the ass and it still doesnt work quite right. I realy dont know what to do at this point. I could sell it and dump that into my rims fund and fresh bolt ons and some other engine modding, like h22 tb and mani and removing the second butterfly's / ecu tunning it could be a very very insane NA. NA i had more fun with anyways since the power was just so smooth and you felt it in your gut.

That grill looks incredible!

BUT

You really need to paint your hood support flat black.

haha word, i got to get me a hack saw. Also, look under the grill part on your cars at the end lip of the front. They sealed it with rubber were they folded the metal. This, in the future, might be the first thing to rust on our cars. I noticed a line of small razor thin surface oxidation before i got it painted. Check this out for me.
