IT needs to be rebuffed the guy who did it did a crappy buff jbo but it's fixable so no worries.. there are some areas that need some touch up so i'll have it all done at the same time...

you can still see some red when you took off the ttops...pass side where hood meets headlight doesnt match the gap compared to the driver side. (I guess because you didnt use OEM parts). I guess because I'm picky I notice those type of things because you did all this hard work swapping the whole front end.
Otherwise nice job.

ok the red that is showing will be removed during touch up... but the only reason you can see it is because it wasn't put back correctly long story but I fixed it shortly after the pics.....
Oh yeah and the red around the "t-tops" theres no headliner in that pics.. I've been taking my time putting it back in because i'm covering it with black leather... Iv'e done it once but i messed up a few areas but I'm determined to get it right... I'll post pics of it when finished......
I've thought about the 19 evo's but i'm scared... those are huge... can you give me some info?? How much did you pay? where from? what size tires? did you have or do you need to recal. your speedo?
