Nemesis, that was cool. Visibility does not seem that great in the water though. So how is the car running? Ever get back on the dyno?

I have emissions coming up soon. My orginal cat is dead after running with a dead motor + misfire issue. Swapped it out for a midpipe because it was glowing red hot ><. Easy fix, but would like to go back to a cat.

Be nice to find someone who just got a warranty replacement who wants to upgrade

Waiting for the foam to cure to start shaping the rear of the lip.






Some plasti dip. Badges came out ok. I also did the inside of the sideskirts because they took a beating over the winter.

No need to remove the badges. This is sprayed on the car. Apply 5 coats of Plasti Dip and then peel away.

After a couple of hours shaping the lip spoiler I think it is about to go to the dumpster. I will take another shot at it next week but if it still looks like crap then time to start thinking of something else.
