    it's back!

    got everything together on saturday, and drove it for the first time in 3 months. wooo boy! I love this car. the weight reduction on the front end made a much bigger difference than I expected, and you can't even tell the hood is CF from the outside :D

    here are the pics I took when I was finishing it up, the car is FILTHY; I only just got to wash it today, but it still needs a fair bit of detailing:








    I haven't put on the euro trim yet, or lined up the hood.. but I'll get to that eventually. still have to change my tranny mount, put in my DSSR, buff the rest of the car, etc. etc..

      Ho-lee Hell. Looking good! I didn't know you got the M-Tech II rear valence, was that a new purchase for this little refurb?

        oh yeah, here's what the car looked like right after I crashed it:


        I knew that day it would be a while until I drove my car again. what a long 3 months!

          It's been almost 7 for me. My car is so close to being done, now I hate even going out in the garage and looking at it. It laughs at me. :(

          But it's close, just lots of small things now. And I have to renew my tags and registration, for some reason, the DMV never mailed me out the paperwork.

            I actually had to get new plates for mine (mandatory every 7 years). which was lucky, my front plate was pretty trashed.. and the old plates were all yellow and faded anyway.

              Nice dude, but you need to invest in a new camera, I swear you've had the same one forever!

              Looks good dude.

                            no, it's from eurostyle. so is the front lip, both are pretty nice peices.. all I had to do was block the rear valance and paint it, no fitment or anything was required. it just snaps over the stock rear valance.
