Looks sharp. I like the tips too.

I finally found a good deal on a coolant bottle, so now I'm entirely leak free!

Your car looks nice Did you do a full repaint?

Thanks. Ya, the body wasn't in that great of shape when I got it; no serious body damage but a lot of dings (even on the roof!). Because it is so hard to color match old DWP, I opted to just bite the bullet and have the whole car re-sprayed.

Had the shop service the transmission with a flush and replacement of the transmission fluid. Keep an eye out on the color of your tranny fluid and when it starts to lose that subtle "pink" color time to consider replacing it......

Your car looks great! Is that a front lip on the bottom of your bumper?

I put a deposit down on the new APT front fenders. It feels good to finally start buying parts for my SC again.

I just need to get a new ECU so I can drive the car again.

It's an aluminum splitter I had the bodyshop make for me to protect the front-end from scrapes. Originally it stuck out a bit further but I didn't like the look (as well as loss of front-end clearance), so I had them trim it down to seem more flush with the front.

Here's some closer shots of it...

Very cool, I like it. Any chance you have a picture underneath how it's mounted?

Don't have any shots of it currently. But if I recall correctly, it's a half-moon shape and bolted to part of the frame. I should have the car up next weekend for some work so I'll try to take some shots of it. Personally, I think it would be better to make it out of a hard/flexible plastic. Being aluminum, it gets pretty jagged and sharp after rubbing enough (wouldn't want to walk by the front of the car too closely). I still need to file mine down to smooth it out after scraping a few times.
