Update: 3-31

Well JT and I decided to get rid of the white hood. So went went to Lowes and got 2 cans of black plasti dip. I want to get it painted red but I am going to wait till I have money saved up to get 97-up front bumper and get the wing taken off.

It came out pretty good, I am happy with it. I think it looks much better than the white and just took some other pictures.

TPG is going to tune my car when its done


Still saving up for my motor

I have had good luck putting armor all or another type of protectorant on the plastidip to give it a nice sheen and let the water roll off easier. I notice that plastidip keeps water spots otherwise.

[ame=[MEDIA=youtube]cOv0zJwaMKc[/MEDIA] start up on the GSX - YouTube[/ame]

Got tuned at TPG Tuning a few weeks ago, made 325hp/303tq at 20psi on 93 pump gas.

I recently gave myself a weekend long project, I torn down the old headliner and visors and recovered them to match the dark interior in my car.

BEFORE

AFTER
Didn't come out to bad, the visors were such a pain to take apart and recover.

I recently got my 97 bumpers back from being painted to match the car and finally had the chance to get them on along with my new side skirts and a front lip!
