Well after a year in Iraq I finally got the car into the body shop and got her all straightned out. It gets alot of looks now, but I have a few things to do still till I am really happy with it. Such as find the right marker lights to install in it, move the intercooler down and out, and get the sinko's on it (after taxes anyway) and get the right trim piece to make the CF hood look right. Anyway I had to show off, since this is the best it has looked since I got it almost 10 years ago.

Whats wrong with the wheels?? I am so tired of the 3 spokes but I think the Tenzo wheels will look very nice and I really dont care if anyone else likes them anyway. Just cant make up my mind on weather to use the graphite or silver ones.

RETRO,
I have wanted to paint it this color for years and after seeing how it looked on yours and a few others I really really wanted it that color...lol.

rexsk8er,
Well the kit was originally put on by a friend who did more damage than good, so I took it to a friend that does this kind of stuff on a daily basis, and it took a lot of work to fit it right, I did a lot of work after the fact to make the rear work with the original supports and mounts. The front on the otherhand was another story, but anyway the sides had to be cut and reglassed about an inch shorter on one side and a half inch on the other.

Caz,
I am in olympia. Dont think the neighbor would appreciate me taking his old ass wheels.....lol

Thanks for the props everyone, just glad there are people like you all to share it with.

It's awesome. I also bought that kit; what a nightmare to put it on. There are still some minor adjustments I need to make. I went for a dark red metallic, but the blue looks great.
