Very nice!

Did you have the car painted silver from black?
Did you paint the interior yourself?
How did you mount the aftermarket seats?

I think the red panels are too flashy. Maybe just the red seats and door handles would look better.

IMHO, it's a bit too red..the door panel inserts, and some other locations would probably be ok..outside the car looks killer..nice wheels..nice door handle thing.. and all-in-all killer..

Dif you do the painting of your interior yourself? If so what kind of paint did you use. Or did someone else do it for you? if so how much did it cost.

Your front end looks really slick.

I second the motion to find out where you got the front piece, how much you paid for it (if you don't mind us asking, of course ), and whether it's the "real deal".

Actually, I don't care if it's the real deal, but rather what material it is crafted from.

The interior looks nice, though it aint something I would do.

The exterior, well.................... It looks GOOOD

What lights did you use for the knight sport bumper, I can't find any that will work.

I'm going to try to answer some of the questions.

1. The bumper lights are APC's and you can get them from NOPI for $20 a pair.
2. The bumper is a Knightsport knock off that I got from a shop in Canada for about $350 delivered. If you are interested PM me and I'll send you the number. It's made out of fiberglass and did take some TLC to make it fit right,
3.The KOYO was not too difficult to install and yes I have seen a lot lower water temps. Doesn't ever get above 100 C anymore. It's cold now and I normaly see mid 80's to low 90's. We'll see what I get in the summer.
4. As far as the paint, I had Freddy down in Houma, LA paint them. I'm not sure what the paint code is. Maybe Freddy will ring in and enlighten us all.
5. The car was originally black and painted silver.
6. The seats are Scat seats from Summit. I had to order the Sparco seat brackets to install them.

Hope this answers all of the questions for now. Thanks for all the praises and just remember everybody has different tastes and mine may be a bit wilder than others. I'm extremely happy with make car thus far.
