I cant wait to see it, maybe I'll swing by Fri after work or something. Leo, you did a great job man...well and Phillip too. Took a **** load of work but it pait off.

As for the fenders, anytime you have fiberglass or carbon fiber its not going to paint well unless its blocked. You basically have to spread filler in the entire piece then sand it all down with a larger block sander to get it perfectly smooth. Its very time consuming and cost a ton at a shop.

Dont worry about it though man, I think it looks great

I have the 99 lip at home.. It will go on tonight or tomorrow.. also I'm putting the 99 17's.. hopefully my connection in Japan could get 2 more 8.5J's.. I would like to go 8.5J's all the way around..

Fender.. well, i'm getting the stock ones painted in near future.. With smoked side marker lights..

SPOAutos, Thanks man.. and thanks for your help in the past..

this is slightly out of context.. but I have a friend in Japan who is getting rid of the front end and rear spoiler.. really cheap..
But no signal lights.. but you could pick one up for about 300-400.. He wants 1100 shipped from Japan.. I made a post about this couple of weeks ago.. he really needs to let go of this..

pm me if anyone is interested..

I'm not sure I like the vents that are above the "stock" oil cooler vents. Do they actually do anything? Not flaming, just curious. Other than that, that's a fine machine. I know the feeling of getting the car out of the paint shop. It's scratching it and denting it afterwards that will **** you the hell off.

RE-Amemiya type one.. its the older style mirrors..

Also the vents are.. well, I think it makes it little ricey.. I'm thinking about filling it in.. I guess when I have time..
