Default Air dam finished! PICS

So it's finally done and after too much time sanding and painting over and over to get the old plastic smooth its done. Painted black with duplicolor, decal, then cleared. I love it!

Yea, but I sold it for more than I bought it from you, so if I were in your place, I probably wouldn't have bought it either. It did have a new Performabuilt tranny though, so in the end I broke even. It was a good car, but I am a 6 speed guy and I never got used to not banging gears.
