Hey everyone,

She's at the body shop and should be done next week. I just got some progress pics and thought I would share. The new Works are on and the brakes are on but they still have a lot to do but, I'm happy with it so far. What do you think?











I can't wait till they finish everything!!

Hey Chris,
Great to see some updated pics, it looks sweet I am feeling that kit, stance, wheels and brake kit. Dude you have a sic car. When will it be complete? Which coilovers are you on? I'm thinking of switchin to coilovers.

Hey dropping my car off tomorrow to get a body kit installed and painted and some custom work done, should be done by Monday-Tuesday.

Anyway glad to hear from you and keep the pics coming

Thanks Ron,

What kit did you go with? I'm on BC coils, you have a lot more choices though.

I went the less expensive route and got the carson tuned. I'm thinking about the BC or Tanabe not sure yet but have enough time since I have to let the piggy bank build up again before I can do my next mod (lol).

Take care

Thanks everybody for the compliments, I really appreciate it. The car still needs to be debadged and all chrome moldings and the roof will be wrapped in flat black vinyl. Then the engine cover will be painted and the JDM visors added. I can't wait to see it. I just hope it doesn't snow while I'm home.

i find that surprising too. i have seen shop putting masking tape and then write on top, but directly on the panel? only on cars that are going to be completely sprayed

they better do a good detailing job but i can also see they are serious about their work and write down all the details
