TX 1993 Brilliant Black build up!

I have a bone stock looking 93 FD, that needs a little TLC on the exterior:
-faded bumpers and sunroof
-scratched up and faded door handles
-stock ride height

I'm planning to re-spray the bumpers, already picked up the (1) stage paint setup, already pulled the bumpers. I'm going shaved so i already filled the holes for the keyhole and emblems.

I picked up some 3m dry carbon wrap for the door handles and sunroof

I also deleted the spoiler, only plugged it up for now. Later i'll get the holes filled with a welder and delete the wiper at that time as well.

Waiting for my Tein s techs to come in from another member to lower the altitude. And also got an R1 lip from another member.

And i'm painting the stock wheels dark grey along with red brake calipers.

Trying to keep it stockish looking without going overboard on the exterior.

that's actually my buddies 01 cobra, i put a 67mm single turbo kit on it! Its a sleeper,convertible, not dropped, stock wheels! Mustangs were my main deal for a while, this FD is my first car to step away from them. I had a built and turbo'd 00 GT and a Twin Turbo Mystichrome cobra...it will be missed

Probably throwing a Vibrant flat black dual tip muffler on, to complete the dark look! And lightly smoking the lights.
