pics of my 8.

So as some of you know, I was involved in an accident last november. A lot happened since then; and there was a time when I wanted to part out my 8 and just get into something newer and more powerful. Somehow I ended up fixing the car and ended up with more parts. Here's some recent pictures I want to share with you guys. I will take more once I have my fenders rolled and have new rims on.






A little off topic, but any one know of a good place to get a fender roll? I was planning to go to evasive, but would like more opinion.
Thanks!

Love the hood.. just painted mine a few weeks ago after over a year of CF. If you like the CF look make sure to get it clear coated or put a clear bra on it.. otherwise it will start to fade after time.

For fender rolling either post up in the socal lounge or PM Jedi, i know he just did a fender roll not too long ago and the results were top notch.

Youd be suprised how easy fender rolling is. I actually did it with a heat gun and a rubber mallet...popped the wheels off, and just heated the paint a little and genty tapped the lip up flush for the whole wheel well. It took 15 minutes a side and it looks perfect. YouTube has some good videos on it..

Ha I hear ya man, they're popping up everywhere. I think I'm ready to change my front, something about it from the side just doesn't look right. I love it straight on from the front though.

Instead of parting out for more power you part out for more looks... looks good but a misallocation of resources if you ask me..
