Well she was in pretty bad shape. The real bumper melted when the tips of the stock exhuast fell off. Then I had the N1's installed and the bumper remained that way. The sunroof has some rust spots that just occured with time. The rear dent is from when my sister owner the car. She hit a rock somehow. Here is where the captain of the cheerleading squad backed into me. Stupid bitch

I shrunk the pics after he posted. They were like 2000 by 1700. Yea the sunroof bar is missing a plastic clip, but I'm working on that. I didn't have money to paint the moldings but I think they are ok for now. Thanks for the compliments. I'm happy with her.

I personally like the non-colour keyed mouldings.

It makes the car look more OEM- a very nice look.
I don't know why, but I HATE cars that look like they have been painted. I don't know why, I just freaking hate them!!

Usually the giveaways are same-colour EVERYTHING.. simply because the body shop doesn't mask everything off.

Of course, the S5's are colour keyed, and they are nicer, but they look different, because they are not painted on the car.. maybe that's the difference, who knows.

i have that same exhaust, if you want them to sit closer up to the bumper and not sag, I used huge zip ties, and they have held up quite well for like months now. Car looks great.

Yes but I wanted it moved to the center. I thought it looked better. As for the wheels, yea they need fixed but I really don't have the time. I am getting new rims and tires some day. It all cost me $3900. Thats all body work and paint. There were a lot of small dings in her too the they had to fix so those are all gone.
