Will do man. Put in my fair share of work on it today with all of that stuff. Putting the springs on it tomorrow with the MM kit and I have wheels coming that will be here weds. I just need to make time to pull the lights and grilles to send em to paint and jump in on that cowl hood group purchase.

I might try that. Just thinkin with the gloss black accessory wheels and smoked lights (all of them) that the gloss on the grill would prob fit the theme better. I'm usually a satin/matte black fan but with the silver car already giving it that contrast, the gloss might look better.

My last one held up. Minor chip here and there but it was easy to touch up. I just touched it up every other time I washed it

I would not paint the grill, waste of money that will turbn into rock chip central after a few weeks. Powdercoat it or leave it alone.

Can u Powdercoat the frame though with it being plastic? The grill I will coat but the surrounding might have to be painted.

Quick question related to the original thread here...

What gap is suggested for a 150 shot? I put the br7ef's in but ran them straight out of the box. Should I need to adjust the gap?
