^^^ that was just something i threw on there so i wouldn't loose the t-bolt/coupler. Its not on the car yet will be when it gets warmer out. Working on cold concrete blows plus i have to save up for a tune.

As for the red badge possibly, I have another si grill that i may put a si emblem in the left hand corner.

^^ no actually it was one of my buddies car's. He ran into some money problems and the car got repoed(sp?) and he stripped it. I tracked it down and bought it at a silent auction from the bank.

The car has come a long way, looks a lot better. You should touch up and finish the final details. Looks like the front lip, side skirts, grill molding and wiper arms need to be painted, and the belt moldings should be replaced. It will make a big difference!

That build was fast and how long did you took to do all that? Did you paint the engine bay black again?

LOL so if I do the math you bought the stripped parts from him?

Anyway, good save man, not sure if I would advertise the above info though. Evn if you didn't it kinda looks shady, know what I mean?
