This is going to be nice once she's done! Are you going to extend the exhaust 2 to 2 1/2 inches to be flush with the kit?

The 400 is 90% done. I have waited quite some time for this!
If you notice some imperfections, I did not pay for a full repaint, some areas were just repaired. Parking on the NYC streets for two years really tore the paint job up pretty well.
Yes, the suspension is set high as hell. I raised it for the winter. Snow tires go on tomorrow.

Serious buff tomorrow morning.

Then it's Clear Coat time.

EDIT!: DONE!

What are you using to clear these lenses?

Maybe I am not understanding the question but all the things mentioned above cleared the lenses. The sandpaper and the Plast-X.

Matt,
Yes I did. Two days out of the body shop. I hit a hidden speed bump. The paint had worn off of it and I hit it at 40MPH or so. It cracked it ;-(
Oh well..... I also just purchased a 97+ bumper. I will get a Fujin or Vertex lip for that and when this one dies, I'll put the more durable OEM setup on the car.

Thanks Man! Cant wait to get back to summer mode!

That Shine / AC Couture kit on your car is nice buddy ! For me, that style of body kit is the best for the SC.

OneHot,
I have a folder of pictures of your car. As I was already platinum, I looked at them hundreds of times before deciding to proceed in this kit direction. Thanks for the inspiration man! You are the Platinum/AC OG!

I'm in Manhattan, not far from the Guggenheim.

Thanks Gerrb,
You will see me lots soon. I'm going to drive down and patiently stalk your house until you invite me in to get properly boosted ;-)

Steve,
No doubt! So great! You are with me on stalking Gerrb's house until he invites us in to get proper 2j/1J goodness! Glad I don't have to do it alone!

As for picking up something in Florida, only a few more pounds of subcutaneous fat so far my friend. There are two more days tho, there is hope yet!
Thanks,
Tony!
