I built my car just in time for import alliance 09 and just after sold my wheels and sat the car in my driveway for almost a year, but I've Had my car at the paint shop for almost 6 months getting the body straight doing some minor body work and getting my wheels refinished.The old trunk was warped from previous owners attempt to weld the spoiler holes shut. So we scrapped it for a Siebon CF trunk, and since I had the CF hood and to complete the two tone carbon look I ordered a carbon fiber roof cap from isportcomposite and am just waiting to get these out there and start getting my car assembled.

this is how it looked before I parked it
