Chris I dont intend on crashing her again. Or I should say rather that I dont intend on having anyone crash into me anytime soon.

Kel your right I did toss my hat into the ring. Sadly for Chris its a 10gallon hat haha Oh and thanks once again for that MintBlue Spoiler. Just tops of the rear nicely in my opinion.

Snip, I plan on sourcing the rear fog light later this spring figure one thing at time. that and I kinda like the KS symbol just need to get some red paint and find that modeling paintbrush I bought awhile back to accent it.

Kris, thanks and the front is a love or hate it type front , but the side skirts I love 'em not over the top but very subtle.

Altspace.. um Josh.. we are sooo planning a photoshoot come the spring time my friend.

These are what my summer tires look like.

Note they are DARK Chrome. They look nothing like the silly chrome rims you see slapped on every other car nowadays.

For the entire job it was about 3k. But this included repainting my drivers side fender, the hood, front bumber (shall be finished later this week), replacing the passenger side fender and painting, entire passenger side, side skirts, and rear bumber.

This also included them modifying my rear enough as to not take off the reinforcement bar, and them also painting the grill of the front flat black, they shall also be repainting the rear diffuser section flat black also. I was thinking of having them leave it but I dunno looks kinda fake being fully painted BB. Might just be me I know what do you guys/gals think?

Hmm your right Pat,
Hey can someone make a avatar pic of the rear for me??? Pretty pretty please haha.

Oh and bad news. Cause someone decided to stack some rocks I sadly scratched the rear in the rear passenger side. Thankfully its on the very bottom and definatly fixable and hardly noticable. When I take the car back to have the front put on and the rear painted for the flat black going to see if they can fix it quickly for me for either nada or for a few bucks.

Its at the Bodyshop right now, dropped her off last night getting some issues' addressed and the front bumber put on.

Sadly,....... I'm being told she now wont start. I fear they may have flooded her. Now I may have to have her dragged to the dealership and have them work on the car since I have yet to have time to contact any other shops but alas I fear they wont be able to be it they are out or state or they wont work with insurance companies
