when are you going to have all the molding removed? Or are you going to replace the driver fender and door molding?

actually, the first pic is the oldest, so not all of it was put back on after the car was painted. (you can see that the bolts that hold the valence on weren't painted either) I don't know which way I like better, but it's not coming off anytime soon. The first pic (w/o molding) looks better than the rest mainly because of the lighting.

I had to wait until the streets cleared off. The front air dam is one big snow scoop and the fat front tires don't like the slush.

Hit 7k in first on a dry spot, snapped it into 2nd and it likes to go sideways for 15-20 feet, gotta love 12a-bp's. 250 more miles and I can start hitting the high revs more frequently.
