Default First Wash Since New Paint!

the pictures pretty much suck, but i couldnt resist taking them.

took a year to put it all together and paint it. a total of 1700 to take it from this.








to this



























i know, its nothing crazy.

the suspension sits about an inch lower on the drivers side than the passenger side, some people will hate on the two tone.

but i dont care, i love it, and i dont have alot of money into it so

yeah, not carbon.

its not a race car, i doesnt need it to be light weight. carbon fiber does not match black roof, i dont have the money for carbon fiber.

Not crazy about the 2 tone but if you were going that route you should've painted the hatch too.

Well regardless it looks great and you did it for low-dough so that's even better. I like the 6th gen skirts too.

I like unpainted side moldings and sides, but the door handles being painted is a must. Looks pretty clean though.

that is a complete myth, it is perfectly fine to wash it just a couple days after painting it.

i went 1 week then washed it. it sat outside in the 80° sun for that week.
