Almost perfect, IMO.

+1 For not having a gay body kit.

Very nice, I am in the same spot , stock rims are a bit boring. But it is a process. Nice place in the woods , is that your home ? watch for the pine tar, your paint looks sweet

Thanks.

I don't think I have any engine pics on this computer, but it isn't very exciting anyway. K&N intake, ARC small SMIC, hallman MBC's.

And the engine bay is still montego blue . The color was close *enough* that I didn't want to go through all the work to paint the bay. I might go ahead and do it sometime in the future.

I have a friend who paints cars as a hobby. He let me borrow his guns and helped me learn the process.

After painting a car you really understand why it costs so much for a quality professional paint job. Lots of labor involved

That looks great! I guess im boring cuz i like it the way it is. I like them clean and smooth. No body kits or crazy wings for me. But if you made the decisions to make it look this good so far then im sure id love your choice for wheels and lowering springs. If i wanted a 3rd gen to look like something id want it to look like this. Absolutely stunning. Great job
