nice job!!! thought for you, i painted the backing piece on my taillights black once. didn't look right on my car, but would probably be trick on his vs. the silver. i don't think that silver is really offering any reflective properties anyway (assuming it is the same paint that is on mine).

your boy better be thankful. if not, the car needs to go to someone who is...me.

I got the bus to do next. I think I scored some 2004 WRX front seats for it. If they are black leather I might have to swap my seats out and put them in the bus and the leather in my car.
They are comming from the same guy that got me the seats for my car, same price too. :agree:
Now I need to find some cool wheels for it.

Very nice.
Are the louvres in the ducktail functional ?

I always liked those tails.

I found some cool dual exhaust mufflers at work. I'm pretty sure they are titanium and aluminum construction. I'll get some pics to you when I get a chance...

Looks good!

I like the duck tail as well. Gives it that 911 RS feel. That being siad you should run a front air dam (chin spoiler) with it as the downforce will be unbalanced at speed. Just like in a 911 you cannot run a whale tail w/o chin spoiler.

Take Care,
