Thanks guys..I liked the black too..But it needed another paint job (I missed up alittle on the body work and clearing) So that's when I decided to paint it CW. But if I were to paint it once more, it would probably be another pearl black.....which wouldn't be hard, nor expensive to do.

Yeah I know...But the second time around (when it was painted white) I removed the lights and the mirrors.

Thanks man.

I did alittle clean up yesterday, Nothing big really...but the engine bay needed alittle cleaning up. Well I decided to clean it because I should be picking up my motor 2-morrow..So I thought it would be a great idea to clean up alittle.I relocated the siren for my alarm, HID ballast,Painted the inner fenders,Radiator support..etc,I also painted the rusty brackets in this gunmetal color (The A/C fan bracket), I also removed my washer fluid (Cause there is really no point in having it if I clean my car all the time....plus,It smelled SO BAD) I also hid the headlight wiring inside the fenders..and it came out great, nothing crazy but, it looks clean. I will be cleaning it more as soon as the motor gets here...I'll keep you guys posted.

Look @ what I picked up today.



I really like how the Password finish washers look...but it's really expensive! So I came up with a better alternative, make your own.
I bought 100 finish washers, 100 stainless steel screws, and Testors Transparent Candy apple red paint form a near by Hobby store.



And then after a couple of coats...WAAALA! pretty looking washers.

I bought the washers and screws from Shell lumber (Which is the same exact thing as Ace Hardware.)

The whole lip is a CF replica of a 96-98 Mugen lip, I believe.
Mickey just masked off the half of the lip and painted it CW.

Exactly, thanks Tiff.The lip is from Seibon if anyone wants to know.

This is how the lip looked like when I had first purchased it:


And here it is painted:


Looks alot better IMO..It flows with the rest of the bumper.And at the same time giving that splitter look.

Yeah I like the paint.
