New pics

Its been a while since I've taken any pics. Its been since after the accident at the end of November. The car was in the body shop for about a month. In the mean time, I got a new OEM rear bumper, New OEM muffler and B pipe. I also got the front bumper and side mirrors repainted. The front bumper is already starting to get a bunch of rock chips on it. Aside from that, I made the front license plate sit lower and slightly smoked the bumper signals. I have to find some plugs for those ugly holes on the front bumper. I finally got an alignment after it came out of the body shop last Tuesday as I have been driving around with the steering wheel slightly to the right. I still have to repaint the chipping grill, give the headlights a new color and replace the inner tie rods and tie rod boots then get another alignment. Last Thursday, I found the time to wash, polish, and wax it and decided to take a few pix today. The car is already a little dusty, but here are a few quick pix I snapped on my driveway:









PS. I used tire shine this time. For those of you who don't know, I hardly EVER use tire shine.

nope, always had stock wheels. my dad threw some new bridgestones on them right after we got the car, and theres still plenty of meat, so it stays for now. The legend coupe is my parts car. 6-speed type II, going into a blk/blk sedan, after that its for sale.

I used a can of $2 flat black from home depot. I was looking for satin black, but they were out at that time. So I would suggest satin black.
