    Oh god, not the interfooler. You have a lot of work to go before I would start calling it de-riced.

    not sure what you use... but i found that a wire brush on a drill works great for taking off bondo on molded-on body kits... looking good man... keep up the de-ryce...

    I'm glad you're fixing your car.

    BUT, I have some questions.

    Why spend money on things to dress up your engine bay? As soon as you open the hood you notice that the car is two different colors, why not just pay to get that painted. Or if thats too expensive dont even worry about how it looks under there and just dont open the hood.

    Also why an interfooler?

    i went to a local car show,and wraped the wires up for that and never took it out.cuz i dont really open the hood much.so it dosnt really matter.
    and the air filter,idk not sumthn u see everyday i guess? wasnt trying to make it look like im turbo,cuz u can tell its just a red mesh filter. and you can hear it sucking in the air when ur infront of it.lol
    ok so mayb im not de-ricing..but atleast i de fiberglassed and bondo'd.. i like my ebay headlights and lambo doors and airbags.

    Yeah I'm going to have to agree on getting rid of the air filter thing. From my experience it's kind of the laughing stock of import drivers. But it's your car man, do what you want.

    Do the car how YOU like, not how everyone else wants it to be. If you like the kit, leave it on. I think it looked clean. The fenders...good choice removing. the headlights...it does look more "expensive" if you go with plain 'ol stocks with HID's

    lol too be honest, if you keeping the headlights and engine bay stuff and that intake, the body kit was not really that bad. it wasnt cracked or non fitting, looked like a show car. now your going to have a factory looking car with engine bay rice, which now stands out and looks 10x worse.

    no actually the whole bottom of the front bumper was scrapped off,the sprayglo single stage paint was alreaddy chiping off and you could see the aqua green fiberglass speckles from road debree. and i had to refiberglass the 2 corners several times.it was orignally lowerd 3" with coilovers and i ripped the front off 3 times untill i got the airsuspenion.and my molding job was bad.lol

    30K??

    Never heard of anything that high before. Is it completely blue?


    It is coming along nicely. That intake doesn't bother me because you'd have to be an indiiot to think its an intercooler.

    Looks much better!

    so you chose the ebay seats over the stock leather seats?
    I think it is better to loose the big gauge.
