I think it's a little too much orange for my liking. Like the parts on the engine lid.

craracer · 03-21-2009, 08:50 PM

Fantastic color!

WOW! Can't believe I just found this thread. Great work!!

akandok · 03-21-2009, 10:22 PM

Teach me how to lay the clear coat like that!

Great work

cemaykan · 03-22-2009, 05:27 AM

this is great progress! how many hours do you spend average a week on this project?

Michael_In_Hoboken · 03-22-2009, 07:38 AM

That looks awesome.

Seems like it'll have a sunburst effect in the light, which is cool. I never thought of color matching the plastic fins....I've been so caught up thinking about mesh replacements, it never even occurred to me.

Can't wait to see everything back together. Keep up the great work

xtn · 03-23-2009, 06:26 AM

I don't think you sprayed enough paint. Looks like a little bit of air could still make it out through the booth filters.

Ryusen · 03-23-2009, 07:56 AM

I knew somebody will make a coment on those . They have recently replaced ones in doors and the secondary in wall . You right there is no excuse for those ...

So I picked my baby up this morning . Looks sooooo beautiful . After taking it outside, even I was impressed with bodywork, all those hours really paid of .
Next is all the bolt on stuff spoiler mirrors, intake ,oil pan, toe link brace .Have to replace one control arm and do the alignment, harness bar
Still have to paint and mount defuser ,figure out brake cooling ducts and of course wrap side skirts and front spoiler with carbon fiber . So the fun is far from over .
few shots that I made this morning .

newman · 03-23-2009, 01:53 PM

clearskies · 03-23-2009, 02:05 PM
