Pulled the car into the shop recently and made a few "adjustments".
And It finally stopped raining for five minuets so I grabbed a few pics at this little park near my house.

Junkton-Deli exhaust





I also adjusted my tanabe DF210 coilspring-overs to a lower setting.

Beautiful wheels. What are they? And how do you get just the fogs to be on?

Ha! I wish these were scaras. They are racing hart Cx. I'm going to try a light smoke on these tails and see how it looks first, If it hides all the cracks from when I removed the orange I'll probably roll with it.

This was the cheapest mod I have done. These tips were laying around the shop after being cut off some truck. They were like 16 inches long! Cut them down and were welded up by none other than my main man MDSC. I was going for a junction-produce look. Thats why I call this the junkton-deli exhaust.

Paint just needs a good clay/wax/polish and the color will just pop.

Finally got a chance to pull my car into the shop and take care of a few details that I have been wanting to do.

I have been driving around with these big primer spots on my deck-lid for long enough. And I also wanted to do a light smoking on my tails. so I tore everything down and got busy.


Sanded down the tails.

Pretty tight getting in the paint booth.

Painting is all in the details folks.



Prepped and ready to spray.

mmmmm cinnabar

Base

Clear

Smoke

DoneFor now anyways.

I'm not too wild about the black trunk bar, but I love how those tails turned out!
