Lol, aint that the truth. Im not sure if I could spend that much on paint, hell im not sure if I have put that much into my car as a whole.

Actually I know I havent as everything I have on it came from my other car pretty much, minus the sr and i/c.
Keep us posted on your progress J. I cant wait to see it on the track. You BETTER get videos too!

I really wanted and aero bumper as well. It just wasn't in the cards this time. People are selling those things for $500 with damage, its rediculous. I'm at the point with this car where anything i buy needs to be perfect or in great condition.

If anyone knows someone selling an Aero bumper or a Xenon Rear Lip in good condition please direct them this way!

Enna · 02-28-2010, 01:09 AM

And that is the mentality to have.

Max_PSi · 02-28-2010, 06:24 PM

Cars lookin Good Joe. Can't wait to see it in person man.

Wongger · 02-28-2010, 06:31 PM

No Ebay parts were used in the making of this car.

Stance GR Pro are already on the car, next up is SPC Arms, and subframe bushings need to be replaced.

lifewater · 03-02-2010, 11:23 PM

Need help from some users with powdercoating experience.

I just gave my powdercoater a ton of front end components including my entire front crossmember and steering rack. My question:

Are there any rubber components inside the steering rack that will get destroyed by the 500 degree oven baking process while powder coating (Ive already removed the Tie rods and boots)

Only answer if your 100% certain

Thanks!

LayNLow · 03-03-2010, 12:25 AM

The actual steering rack? Yes. There are seals inside that will most likely get destroyed from 500* temps.

mtx450 · 03-26-2010, 09:45 AM

BUMP for awesomness. Wiring harness to commence this weekend!
