Oh I know. We sanded it down and redid it this morning before I went to work. It looks really good. I putting the emblems on when I get home and painting the letters on the sideskirts red probably tomorrow.

Cant wait to see the finished product! Its really coming along. Its motivating me even more to finish my shitbox. I have a feeling the side strakes are gonna be hard to find. I got the rear bumper on hold from a local junkyard, i just have to wait for it to process so i should have it next week sometime. I also like the belt buckle idea. I would rock it :D:thumb:

He kept falling over so me and dad screwed a small piece of wood that looked like a large branch to the cargo cover and stapled him to it.

Windows look good. So is the paint finished now?

Yep. After I wash it all the overspray will come off and it will look even better, after about a week or so the tiger stripes will start to fade away so it should be looking all nice for Import Alliance next week :hellyeah: Plus I just got my tracking # from JNZ the emblem is supposed to be here Wednesday!! And the fogs will be here before the end of the week!
 
Corey its temporary until i have th money for an actual paintjob. i just couldn't roll into import alliance with a car thats 5 different colors LOL it will get real paint in the near future. at least its all one color
 
Looks o...k. I'm not big on flat black unless done correctly.

Plus side, I have the same stuffed Eagle in my car.

Haha that Eagle is pretty sweet. And The flat is temporary for the time being. I'm going to Import Alliance next week and didn't want to go there with a car that is 5 different colors LOL. I will have a "real" paintjob in the near future, just not right now. I went to the dealer today to have my OEM Eagle key cut, but they've changed the policy since I got my last OEM key (or they just actually enforce it now) and I wasn't able to do it today... I got my delivery slip from the post office that my foglights were in, but when I went to pick them up they were still on the truck :rolleyes: Looks like I'll be trying yet again to do those things tomorrow.
 
Just installed the fogs! Working on fixing the bumper and adding the brand new emblem :)

EDIT: Well I was going to show you guys the new pics, but Photobucket seems to be down :( I guess I'll update tomorrow

I'm probably going to be putting my downpipe from my GS-T shell on it this weekend (hopefully anyway) if I do I'll be sure to update again. But now its all ready for Import Alliance next weekend!!! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures there. Engine mods are going to start being added here in the near future. (I got the hp bug now ROFL) I'll continue to update as I go along! Paint to come hopefully soon as well. Thanks for all the support guys!

Woah, where did you get that Eagle key!? Could you get me one?

It's looking good. foggers are super clean, and those are the cleanest brackets I have ever seen!

local dodge/chrysler dealer had a blank sitting in their parts room for years. When I asked for one the guy behind the counter was like WTF thats going to be difficult, but I'll see if we have one. The kicker is, it was $10 cheaper than an OEM mitsu one :tease: And I know! especially for a NJ car!!! (thats what they came off of)

Great work so far and i love the small little details you incorperated into this project. I must say that i dont reccomend teeing anything into your BOV line. It could affect the way it works. Also the filter on the VC should not be on there as you are allowing unmetered air to enter the intake system and isnt good for crank case pressure relief. Please, no offense i just want to help you out. This thread has help me out plenty. Thanks:thumb:

Thanks a lot man! I put the breather on there because (well at least according to the free mods) quote "This keeps oil out of the intake pipes and the intercooler" And on teeing into the BOV line we just weren't sure where to put it. It seems to work the same though. And I took my catless downpipe off of my GS-T shell and put it on the Talon tonight. Sounds a little deeper, not as much as I'd hoped though. And it also fixed my exhaust leak problem! :D
