A beautiful thing :-)

Just cleaning the yard and spoted a beautiful thing ... just thought I'd share

A couple shots of the pair in the garage, and then some closeups of the purple paint to give you a better idea of the real color.

That's purty. And while I'm thinking about it. Have you noticed an increased number of FC's in the area lately? I see them pretty frequently now and it's not the same couple all the time. There's one for sale in o'fallon on my way to work that I've been thinking about stopping an looking at but haven't.

is that the corksport bumper or real border? it doesn't look to low, I think the 89-91 chin spoiler would be lower right?

if it's the corksport whats the qual like? can you fit the stock fogs in there? looks like you can.

It's the CorkSport nose - quality and fit is very good. It's going back to the body shop soon though to make it fit a little better. Right now it's sitting high because I have my coil-overs turned up. Make it easier to jack it up since I'm still getting underneath it almost every day. When I thread them down it'll be probably 2-3 inches lower than it is now. I don't know about the foglights, but I would assume they'd fit fine ... I yanked my headlights so fogs are the last thing I'm worried about

Thanks for the compliment Node

To avoid scratches in the paints exterior [the swirl marks in your purple paint], use a thick, terrycloth towel instead of a sponge or tightly woven material. The sponge and woven material can catch little pieces of dirt and drag it all across your car's finish. The terrycloth towel is thicker and can absorb dirt into the nap of the towel. Then you wont have those nasty looking marks when the sun shines! I did this with my new paint job, and it looks better than some 2002 model cars that have been washed just a couple times poorly... hope that helps for next time~!
Trust me ... there's not any scratches on the car. The paint is absolutely perfect right now. I just haven't used the final swirl remover on the front clip. Fly's can't land on the rear half of the car without sliding.

Both the cars are mine ... the red one is the 90 Vert.
