thanks guys, and yes i KNOW its filthy

now to take out the seats and plastic again to paint it.

Todd- im just going with a basic semigloss black nothing special
Matt- just ask don where your turbo went
Warren- it shouldnt be to bad to paint but youd never get it in if you painted it first so
JL- nope not one notch needed, one of the big things i kinda wanted to stay away from anyway. i made sure i left all the panels in the car when i dropped it off just for that reason
NIkon-they fit awesome actully, not rubbing the doors or myself i was kinda surprised with that myself and even with the bars in its pretty easy to get in and out

cant friggin wait to start playing this year now.

Painting it is fun.. get some allprep from autozone or wherever and scrub it down real good with some scotch brite, it will make the thing clean as a whistle.

I kinda was hoping by leaving the rear panels in my car the cutting would be minimal... didn't work out that way though. I was more concerned on the bar placment then the cutting, it coudl have been shifted a little and reduce the cutting, but I dealt with it, scrweing up one panel on the first shot

I'd try that urethane enamel.. it worked real good.
