Default Got the car from the shop

Picked up the car from the shop this weekend and love the results. Unfortunately the weekend was absolutely crazy and i had no time for anything. Sorry for the dirty crappy cell phone pics. If I have some time on lunch break today I may try to use a work camera and snap some better pics. Nice shiney detailed pics will be up sometime this week. Overall the fitment and quality of the hood is outstanding. Thanks Roger!!!





The curve of the headlight made me look like an absolute fatass haha


THe calipers look sick in chameleon. I still havent seen them in sunny weather yet but they should shine even more






Had the shop re-do the mini ceta mod for me. yes my exhaust tips will be moved in

lol, im completely ashamed of those wheels haha. They are going to get stripped down and repainted or possibly powdercoated. They are incredibly dirty right now from the shop.

yea i kinda wish someone would just steal the wheels lol, that way id be forced to buy some new ones. I'd kill for some black TT2's. I think that would really set the car off. Ima see if i can snap some better, but still dirty, pics with the roomies digital camera b4 class tonight.

mine r pretty much even with the mini ceta part of the bumper. I have a small dent in the driver side pipe prob from some ******* who hit it trying to get out of a space. I think that is enough to tell me that they need to be moved in a little lol. I think they look good as they are but i dont want them gettin ruined.
