I've driven the car a few times, no rain of course, and it cleans up real easy, It not hard to maintain.

Where did you get the decals for the calipers. I love the look of the little WS.6 ones!

Yeah, but I posted the pics above at work. My home computer has a broken mouse so I can't right click to post the shots.

p.s.- Nightmare... again, sweet f#ckin' job.

Just curious, is your borla cut-out flange stainless? Because mine isn't and has a nice coating of rust on it. Looks awsome by the way

They look like Ground Control adjustable coilovers.

What's the best way to start cleaning the underside? I need to do mine, yours is the best one I've seen so far.

here you go guys, sorry the other images were all jacked, im kinda new at loading pics. This car is not a daily driver, only sees the road in the summer occasionally on the weekends. Im trying to work from the bottom up, im in the process of working on the engine bay, trying to get most of that chromed out. This project took some time to do, i would try to set aside a few hours in the evenings after work and clean and polish. Simple green works the best for all the dirt and grime, just make sure you have plenty of rags. I used a buffing wheel set at 3500 RPM's with some light sanding and some white rouge to buff out the exhaust, the borla is the easiest exhaust to polish up. I did alot of sanding on anything that had some rust on it. And then i used some paint with a spray gun, and im really happy how it turned out, occasionally i just wipe everything down when it gets dusty from driving and its good to go.
