#100644, "A few new progress pictures of the car."
Well, as most of you know, the car is repsrayed its final time, as I found a color that I will be happy with now finally. Since this is the last time to scuff the car down, I have changed quite a bit of things on the car. These are just some pics of what I have been doing for the passed week or so.
I got a J-SPEED fiberglass hood off of ebay for next to nothing, and I see why. It fit very poorly and was extremely wavy. I mudded the whole hood and block sanded it probably a good 50 times over and over, and it is perfectly flat now. Here you can see, I sprayed a first coat of primer and this is what it looked like after the first coat of mudd was all blocked down for the first time. http://imageshack.us> http://imageshack.us>
Here it is now, final coat of primer, will be wetsanded with some 800 and then ready for paint.

And now the front bumper. I decided to go ahead and shave off the sides of the front bumper as they did not flow very good any more with the rest of the body. I completely shaved both sides and then molded in a set of OE 2gb side marker lights. Yes everyone, I know, the marker light is angled a little bit, and there is a reason for it. When the bumper is on and bolted up, they are actually straight, dont worry Then I also decided to shave up the factory fog light holes in the bumper and I think this is going to really turn out nice when its all painted and done with.

I find this hard to believe. The only reason I can see it being true is because of the little one. So screw the color is this thing going to run and get times this year at all?

you know, when i look at my side marker lights, they run perfectly parallel with the top edge of the bumper and not at a fucked up looking angle. I dont know, i think they are going ot look all fucked up but could look straight if you jack the rear end way up.
FIX THOSE DAM NSX SCOOPS, they look fucking retarded cock-eyed.

LOL, No. the scoops are in how I want them.
And my bumper has a different bracket on the bottom that actually pulls it back a litle furthur, hense why the side markers will be straight when the bumper is bolted on.
Yes, the car runs and is ready to see some streets this year, I am hitting the dyno, mid to late MAY and unleashing her June 1 at the Import FaceOff show.

ROFL. Sorry Mike, I have to agree with Terry.
Fine, since all you guys think they look that bad, which now that I stare at it a lot, I some what agree, I will go ahead and fix that top line on the scoops so they are straight.
