Looks pretty good from what I can see, should be really nice when it's painted up.

Ok, weeding through your initial post, you're basically asking if someone on this forum has S5 front turn signals??? (It took you 5+ sentences to ask that?)

All you had to do was post in the For Sale section.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to bash you in any way. Your run on sentences were confusing me.

Anyways, good job so far.

Hey, don't listen to him. The front end looks pretty straight from the pic. How do the fenders line up in back?

I'm thinking of going to a nice charcoal primer look myself. lol At least then my car will all be one solid color.

Well, I grafted in the vent for my cold air box on the hood and then was going to color match it with spray paint but ran out and the metalic wasn't laying right. Not to mention they only sell the closest color in the "little" cans for 4 bucks a shot. So I went to the store got myself a can of black primer and a roller for 5 bucks total. thats right foilks... a ROLLER! (fast and dirty, but good protection for the AL) and I rolled on the new paint all over the hood as a joke to all the wanna be carbon ricer boys. So then my roommate got a bug up his *** to make it even more nasty and paint it with the fake anodizing. That stuff doesn't work over flat black so it turned purple tinted.

I have a toranado grey metallic car with a damn purple tinted black hood.... totally ghetto. but thats ok because its "not slow." (better NZ?)

Then I was looking at the primer black project 86 on dave's site and was like hummmm..... looks a buttload better than mine does now.
