Nice start! What visors did you get? And if I were you I would save up for coilovers rather than the NF210's. You'll be able to fine-tune your height and be much happier down the road. Also more specs on the Cobra?

Looks really different just by painting the stock wheels black. I like it. I really wish my neighborhood looked like yours so I could enjoy my car more. Still snow covered and -10 degrees today Good looking car so far though, I like the blue calipers.

Yup paintbrush. I did the spray can on the cobra and it's holding well also bit I think it's more vibrant with the brush. About 4 coats of it on each caliper and have enough to do 5 more cars lol
