it took me forever to sand them down! i only sanded 3 bcuz i started getting tired, so when i got to the last one, i just washed off the dirt then put like 4 coats of paint and it's still holding up lol

but when i did sand them, i used:

100 grit to get rid of all the very deep scratches and gashes
600 grit to get it smooth, then wetsand with the 600
then wetsand with 1000 grit

then i used Plastikote Car Color gunmetal spray paint...it says Car Color on the front of the can...i couldnt find any other gunmetal spray paint, so i used that...i'm guessing it's used for touch ups, but it works fine so far...i used maybe about 4 coats

you'd be surprised if you saw it in person...the doors look somewhat wavy and orangepeeled...but it's no biggie to me, at least it's better than before

Its nice, but I don't understand why you didn't just find another intercooler... That looks really goofy....

JDM EJ1 95

bc i dont have money to throw around... i could mount this one fine but then itd ruin the purpose of a backdoor intercooler

BSERIEuS

JDM EJ1 95.....I have some questions on your set up. I will PM you.

just finished installing my new lip last night...and a wash and wax after

the lip is a bit crooked, but its hardly noticeable...that damn 3m double sided tape is strong...i tried to re-position my lip, but it just pulled off some of my paint at the bottom of the lip ...and the lip is about a quarter of an inch long on the driver side where it wraps around the wheel well
