They arent. It's just the picture. The much larger version shows them, but ya know I really had to look! 
Probably no pics this weekend.
We have some wicked storms coming in over night, and I doubt either I nor the guys in the shop are going to want to get out in it. I'm just glad she's inside. Maybe monday..

nah......heheh I think the Vertex **** will widen her "just enough". 
Especially with that color.
There is a lot of work going into this for not really anything but a repaint to remove orange peel, area fixed from Hail damage, kit install and debadge. It just looks worse than it is, but It has to be done for a reason.....YOu'll see.
The final touches will be probably right before BOTD.....IF I can save the money.

Um....Well My husband is home on R & R from Iraq after 6 months? Kinda been busy.
Seriously though, The car is in the booth. Kit has been primed and ready to go. I didn't get any pics before hand, but I have to run down one more part before he can put the nose on.....The best part......I now have a go ahead for the CF hood that I want. I think........its the TS or TT. That can be painted off the car since I'm having a mural put on it. The design is coming together, but my goal for that is before BOTD. I had a paint scheme in mind......but after further clarification of what it would cost and the extra time it would take, that is on hold. I also considered the fact that in my eyes, why mess with perfection. THe current color is awesome. It can also always be done at a later date. ETA...next weekend I'm thinking. It would have been done sooner, but some of the hold up is been from my end making decisions.

Well.......we had a hail storm from hell day before yesterday. My car was in the shop, the Jeep got caught in it.quarter size and golf ball...I went by the shop where my car was and the owner was there on EASTER no less. He works at a Mercedes/ Nissan dealer which was heavily damaged and he drives a Z. He's been taking his sweet time yes, but he's thorough.........and I have a feeling that he has damage he wants to fix now. He was working on it on EASTER of all days.......Patience is becoming my friend and I appreciate all the feed back. I think she's gonna be gorgeous!

Damn. That is going to look gorgeous. That kit is clean, and you already have one the most beautiful colors I've seen on anycar. I'm going to own a car with that kind of Copper Red color at some point.

Actually that's just come to my attention, but that close up was with the rear sitting on it, but not bolted on as of yet. IF need be.......of course! I can't waste all this time and hard earned $$ of my hubby's to let her melt!
