First off I wanna send a huge thanks to my buddy Chris Brophy, I took a trip up to MN ( 13 hour drive anyone ) to get the car taken apart, painted, and put back together where things would actually fit.. I left friday night at midnight and got there about noon on sat. and it was nonstop work till about 10 am today, and then i headed home. I just got in and im tired as balls but I wanted to let people see the end result, but I have a photoshoot coming tomorrow so def. some updated pics, and im working on a video with the before, during, and after pics, but here is the car for now.
What it looked like when I got there...
yeah... lol
What it looks like now
And heres a few when I was getting ready to leave we took a few together with Chris's car..
The car still needs wetsanded probably on wednesday and buffed and it should be about perfect, and before its mentioned, i had suspension issues before i left, so i had to put stock front springs on, the springs will go back on tomorrow or wednesday also, so I am aware of that, and the mesh was removed up front for the intercooler and fogs will be replaced with charge pipes, other than that ive VERY pleased with how the car came out for two guys in a garage over two days.. again, huge thanks to chris and I will have more pics and probably a video up soon and this will def. have the install pics in the update thread

not sure how i feel about the line going over the door handles, but i love it otherwise.
Looks hot man! I wana see that JRC behind that bumper!
IMO: Your car went from, eh, its cool, to DAMN!!

Alexis: Dustin, you're ghey, lol. I am better. I have tits, and tits rule all.
loving the new paint scheme
RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...
I really like it. Very happy to see this car in paint finally.
I was going to suggest grille mesh, but you said you only temporarily removed it in favor
of an inter-cooler and fogs will be replaced with charge pipes....
I would however recommend that you have your tires/rims static balanced to get
rid of those UGLY wheel weights on the outside lips of your rims.
That would really make those wheels look clean!
Congrats!

Looks better not a big fan of where the two-tone is but its ok just lower it and rims and you'll be golden
colors look good, but like others, i do not like the line over the door handles.
Riddle me this... riddle me that...
drop it more .. nice rims .. and your set.
i love it def. worth the trip. when i scrolled down and saw i was like WOW whole new car great way to wake up.

Wow that is definitely a huge improvement.
I like the lines of the 2 tone. I would say ditch the fog lights and find some rims that compliment the car. Is it just the pics or has the tint n the doors faded to purpleish?
I hear talk of a turbo. Get to it. I can't wait to see picks of that.
FORGET GIRLS GONE WILD WE HAVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING GONE WILD!
very nice paint, glad you decided to go that way even though if you had more time and money I think my idea was really cool
looks pretty damned good man! so chris actually CAN do something right after all, eh? lol
and i like the way you did the hood. cant wait to see more pics!
WOW.. I just woke up and checked this and I had no idea Id have 15 responses in one morning lol, wel I appriciate all the comments and critisisms,
i knew the door handle was a love it or hate it thing, and I personally love it, and I know some personally hate it, also the car will be lower for pics tonight if it goes well, like i said the front stock had to go on for the trip because of some issues I had before, and the wheel weights they did as part of a way to fix the front suspension, and i have to paint them black today to match I guess lol, I thought weights went on the inside anyways.. ugh,. All that stuff is getting taken care of.
The car is getting an NA tune today, and im getting the rest of things ready for turbo install, picked up a free turbo timer in MN too
just need it sent back here lol. So yeah, the FMIC will go in the front bumper and charge pipes will replace the fogs as soon as I can get it all on there.
I think the last unanswered thing was the rims lol, I am trying to decide on black wheels with polished or red lip and what size still, wheels are something im picky on but cant afford new, so im watching classifieds for something that I like, but the stockers will just have to do for now!
More pics coming tonight im sure, I am going over to a buddies house and im sure you will all know those cars as well !
See ya then !
