    Fine, I'll spill (some of) the beans now.

    Snapped some Quick piktarz.

    Put on coils, bronze weaves, dropped the car a bit. Changed the tails, and did some shadowlining.

    I was going to withold a picture thread until the next wheels, but thats not looking like itll be soon, theyre under construction ;)










    And what is evident:

    Im not sure why m euro plate is like that
    My volvo lip is dumb
    My car is dirty
    I still have my mtech 1, i'm just making it nicer

      Sell the A's. And pick up the HREs.

      Car looks good. I am currently (as in just stopped sanding for a second to check r3v) doing shadowline. I have like 6-7 hours into it yet, and I haven't started painting yet. Still laying down newspaper. Shadowline on sedans are a bitch.

              I think i will, Ive got adapters lined up i believe(Anyone on r3v interested in 4 lugh 17" type As?). And i did plastidip shadowline, but ill probably need to redo it, Mines a little off in some areas. Took me like 5 hours thanks to masking time :eyeroll:

              I picked up a dual tip magnaflow (i may chop off the DTM tips though) which outta help. And eventually ill get a late model valance i think.

              I experimented.

              GC springs 300/500 and generic ebay perches which suprisingly fit really snug. Couldnt fit a sheet of paper in between them. I may do a budget coils writeup if people want... I got to compare them side by side with IE coils and the material/ threads/ pitch all looked almost identical

                            Good improvement. Just finish the rest of the shadowline! windshield trim front and rear, the body trim and the pop out ball on the glass.
