Default Freshly Painted DC4 *PICS*

Well..I finished it all yesterday (friday) and I'm just now getting around to uploading my pics. It looks good, to me. There's a few areas I could have done a little better on, but I'm very pleased with it. I also buffed & polished my new CF hood and threw some wax on it. The pic of my hood is half of the hood after buffing/polishing/waxing...and the other half of it with wax still on it. I'm just waiting for my amber corner lenses to come in and complete it. I hope you enjoy the many pics.

Well...I don't want to scrape my fresh paint off Plus...The previous owner lowered in the worst possible way...heated the springs. So when I save up enough, I'm going to get full coilovers.

I like my moldings and It's just as easy to tape up tail lights as it is to remove them and tape up that area.

I think the LS rims look awesome on Silver. But I agree with him considering I've rode in the car many times, he should definitely do the suspension first.
