Paint almost done!!!!!!!
I know what you guys must be thinking..."Not even done with paint ans Seven Stock is in 4 days!!!!!!!!" Its cool guys...I have a group of goons that are ready to man all stations tomorrow through Friday to get it done.
This is what the paint looks like as of today...
Soooo smoooooth! I love the feel of fresh paint. You can see where the rear fender was cut and welded...time to roll a bit then slap on the wide overs...
Looks like I'm gonna have to push the fenders out a tiny bit and go with a more aggressive stretch...
Rest of the kit and fenders will be painted today and the car will get assembled tomorrow.

Just a tad yeah
Varrstoen
So I didnt get to debut at Seven Stock
Had a few things left to do that wouldnt allow me to comfortably drive the car that day:
- no headlights
- exhaust is too loud
- coilovers didnt get in
- didnt get to fix idle issue
- fake Sparco seat didnt get replaced
- interior is a wreck
- didnt get to mount tires
I did get to finish the most of the exterior but still needs last stage of buffing. The car already looks amazing and YES I went with the same kit as my last one but only cause I love this kit over anything else for the FC.
Here are some more pics:
Here is the freshly painted FC2000 front bumper with black headlight ducts
I decided to use black anodized rivets for the rear over fenders....wanted to go for that track car look with the ever so sexy RE-A wangan spoiler
Fitted with EBC brakes and yellow stuff pads...waiting for the first set of FC rear rotors
Fitted the Carbon Fiber diffuser, complete with center diverter and side generators...its a pain in the butt to get it right but the end result is so awesome
I now have to invest in a nice quite but nice sounding exhaust setup. Probably going with my usual Magnaflo muffler on a 36" glass pack to a turn down tip. Also have to start sourcing some carbon fiber front splitters to play with and last a nice set of HIDs for the headlights and fogs.
As far as interior goes, I'm gonna throw in some reclineable black buckets with red stitching...maybe not Bride or Recaro but its ok since this is gonna be my beater car and one of the sponsors makes some nice seats I can have for free
Stay tuned....

Well I haven't touched the car since Friday night but I've been thinking...
Should I slam the car out or should I leave it as is for that track stance...I don't plan on tracking it anytime soon but I don't know if it looks good at that height. I mean it would be nice to leave my driveway without having to creep out of it at an angle everytime.
Like I LOVE this FC and its not slammed to the floor...
Any ideas guys?
