Bling, bling!

I love the bling, bling. Lucky they don't make spinners for the FD, LOL. KIDDING!

I had a sickening feeling when I was taking the old door catch off. I didn't get the fasteners chromed, DAMNIT. Oh well, one more trip to the chromer won't hurt me...

Now I just need my airpump IC pipe.

Jeff, I am right up there with you. Is your ABS connector holder bracket chromed? Mine is. BTW, the door latches look great.

lol at the door locks. Car looks great man, youve come along way with it.

btw if you dont mine me asking, how much are you paying for chroming? Ive been debating to send a ton of stuff out to be ceramic coated and polished, but chrome looks so nice.

Look amazing but one nit picky thing, you need to get some yellow intercooler hoses to match. The blue sticks out like a sore thumb.

Love the car...
