It's my camera phone. It's not real bright at all. Just a little mood lighting.

I think you're on to something! LOL!

Just ordered an evo-r front lip! It's supposed to ship out Monday. 😛 Commissioned my body shop to do the paint work to color match the sides. I'm just going to clear coat the carbon center. I think while I'm at it I'm going to take cre of the rock chips during the process. My body guy suggested to bury the car in multiple coats of clear after we fix any rock chips instead of the 3m clear bra product.

I also ordered up my 40th plaques from Darkpath! 😛

So I'm waiting for deliveries!!!! 😌😜

Started the process of rock chip repair yesterday. I should have taken some before pictures. Couldn't believe how many chips were in the front bumper. My bodyman came over, mixed up the paint for me and helped me out. I didn't bother with the fangs, because we are going to paint them flat black along with the front lip install. So we just concentrated on the bumper. There weren't many on the rest of the car at all, luckily. We are going to let these touch ups harden, then go over it one more time to fill in any of the low spots from a couple of the bad ones. Then he's going to shoot several coats of clear on the bumper/hood/quarters for me to thicken up the paint and make it nice and tough to prevent further chips.

I'll get some pics up of some of the process and the finish product when we are done. But we might not clear it till we actually take the bumper off and install the lip. I'll do that as soon as I stop driving it for the season!

stay tuned......

Purchased the Gen 3 Stillen CAI this morning.

I'm going to be taking the bumper off the car as soon as the weather turns to paint/install the Evo R lip, and finish my touch ups with a coat of clear. While I have it off I decided to get some of the things done that requires the bumper be off. So I'm going to stockpile my intake/lip and then buy the NST pulleys in the next couple weeks so I'm ready to install that stuff while the bumper is off. I've also changed up my list a little and my plan/direction of the build is getting more clear.

Think I'm getting a case of the "might as wells". I'm thinking while I've got my bumper off I might as well instal my Stillen Gen3 and NST pulleys. But as long as I'm having the EVO R lip painted, I'm thinking I "might as well" get a Aerojacket type III Duckbill cuz that needs to be painted too!

To Duckbill/or not to Duckbill?.....that is the question!

That sounds like a winter project to me

I started redoing doors/trim on my second floor in early April. Once the weather got nice it was so hard to stay indoors so I promised my wife that once the weather cools off I'm back in house mode, LOL
