Looks good! Must be nice to ser a single color car. Wasn't something I was used to until I or the evo lol. Clean up the spray gun and go return it, money back ftw. I do that with like big taps or dies that I know I won't need again and cost like $25.

Yea buddy! Gun is already returned. haha!

I will be picking paint off the rubber seals for the next 2 months. Anyone think I should just get a can of white and spray them to match making it easier, or should I take the time and pick everything off to have the black seals?

looks like it came out great from the pictures. the white looks more elegant than silver, good choice, very classy. I bet if you painted the rubber seals, the paint would end up cracking in a year or so which would look much worse than the white specks.

definately keep the black seals. It looks like a ****ty Maaco paint job when the seals are left with paint on them. just my .02

You're right shandles. Looks like I will start picking and scratching everything. This is going to take awhile. I can see why black is such a popular color now. haha.

..........might be picking up a stock Euro R manifold on the cheap this weekend.

Pics taken with my real camera. Not some amazing DSLR or w/e but better than the Iphone pics. You can kind of see that the paint on the passenger door is not 100% perfect. Oh well.

lookin good man. I'd be happy with it, for sure. Peel that paint off the fog light housings... I hate it when people paint those, they look 1000 times better in black or grey IMO

As far as your signature goes, until you get that fender replaced, perhaps you could shoot the other headlight, and flip it if you want it pointing in that direction. That way it'll be just like you have it now, but with an un-****ed fender. Just an idea

Haha, I thought the dented fender above the link stating -The project that will forever remain "pretty much done"- seemed appropriate.
