It just kinda looked out of place among the rest of the black and the silver intake. No performance gain. I spray lined it simply b/c I was to lazy to prep it and paint it silver.

I just rattle canned the bottom side of the car. The spray liner isn't sprayed like normal paint etc. I would have had to have gotten the car way up in the air to be able to spray it and plus I wouldn't want all the weight on the car. Spraying big areas like that and the stuff gets heavy.

Finally got all moved into our house and made some room in the garage. Spent last Sunday cleaning and detailing the car. First time in over a year I've actually had time to wax it and such. We got a new camera for the store so I decided to try it out this evening.

It was repainted long before I ever got the car. But this is the first time I've really noticed it being a different shade, really upset me after looking at these pics when I got home last night. Guess with it finally being waxed and cleaned etc its noticeable. Also the first time I've taken pictures of this car with a decent camera.

Thanks Reza! It's a never ending cycle, but you know how that goes. Viper is coming along also. When do you think the spray will be going on?

I've found a few deals on Superchargers, so if they get back to me, I may skip the n2o all together. If I don't have a blower in the garage by the end of Jan., I'll get the bottle put on .
