Nice find, I would either do the peanut butter trick on your trim or get the duplicolor trim paint and it will look 100 times better.

Looks like a really good deal to me. Got plans for it or just going to leave it the way it is?

I have a turbo kit here minus manifold that I might install it it. Ext. seems ok, maybe a cf lip for the front bumper and Tein for the suspension. I'll try to stay on the clean side...simplicity

looks good. repaint the trim or buy new, and get some red pinstrip 3/8" i think it is, and run it in the inset on the molding. i did mine and its hot, like the efs over in japan. later man
