Looks pretty nice! I sometimes wish I did up the exterior instead of putting so much money into the engine bay.

That is a very nice looking red. I also like the color matched hatch.

I have my dyno vid in the dyno and timeslip section









My Uncle hooked me up huge! considering what happened, I had drove 1 km from my house (3/4) mile was goin around a old man in a truck doin 20 km , i was still in first and my throttle stuck wide open when i shifted to second,sent me driftin through oncommin traffic with the throttle WOT in 2nd, some scary ****!! i missed to oncommin cars got it back on my side and it kicked back left and ended up clippin a van, there was a witness who said i was just standing on the gas ( who the hell would be standing on the gas in on commin traffic) anyways i took it to trial and represented myself turn down their plea for $85 fine , and the careless driving was dismissed and i got to keep my perfect driving record, i had a federal drivers license for 6 years i dont drive crazy and i know how to drive, before i knew what was goin on i was in oncommin traffic sideways couldnt really jut shut it down or clutch in anyways this is what it looked like before

my uncle does amazing work only charged me $600cdn for fixin it and paintin it, i ned the new metal supports for the rear bumper cover they were all rotted on the new one but other than that its perfect

paint looks good. needs an s5 rear bumper and mouldings or something though...doesn't look right with mis matched moulding. also, the windows look purple.

i have 2 qt's of extra paint, i plan on gettin a body kit and the S5 trim, i was gonna shave the trim but scrapped the idea
black tails are temporary
if you cant see the light from the black out tails theres no excuse for not seeing the red center break light
