my friend took an excellent picture on saturday night.
don't mind the decal, it's a temporary thing for an event.



I wasn't really able to do anything to the car recently due to lots of overtime and a weekend flat black wrap job project on a friend's customer's car. However, I have a lot being planned out right now. It will be a fun winter I hope cuz I aint stopping the modding just because it's a few degrees colder outside

^i think the headlight washer is a 2ES only thing....i kinda like them. i dunno if it's an option or not for the 3es.

and a quick update....not exactly doing any modding...just repairs.

ripped the interior apart just to find this ****er. i'm finally fixing my dead window problem. huzza!

^lol, yea on the bright side i caught it before winter hit.

and today i finally got what i wanted.....got the dashboard wrapped in CF. don't have final product pics yet, will take some tomorrow...too tired right now






was such a pita and because the dash has so many curves, the wrap wasn't 100% perfect but it's good enough for me.

finally got time to fix the electrical problem. all went all.
I finally learned that the best way to rip off the dash is to have all the air ducts, harness still attached. but to do so, the passenger seat, and half of the carpet needs to come out as well.
who wouldave known eh!


quite the mess when i started repairing.


much better when it's cleaned up


with a clean wrap, you'd never be able to tell it was repaired!


cleaned up and ready to go


and finally some dashboard pictures

car up and running! carbon fiber wrapped dash installed. window problem FIXED!!! as soon as i saw that window move, i had to play with it. i rolled it up and down 20 times hahahahahaha. my wiring was perfectly functional. driver seat installed and now the car is sitting at Dynamotorsports getting a 3" custom exhaust with Varex muffler + Y-pipe installed. EGR is going to be removed once again. Some minor body work will get done as well. what a productive day!
