Looking forward to seeing it...... if I keep my car I was debating this mod for next year, but may opt to get my stripes painted on. The vinyl is driving me nuts at times.

Why???? Everytime I have seen it it looks killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate all this talk of you selling your car. :-(
Get some in-process pics of that front end.
And what? Tom? Sell car? You ain't lookin' at one of them there fancy foreign WRXSTi thingys now are ya? Maybe we need to work him over.

While my front end was off, I went at it with a can of black paint on parts of the radiator support to make it disappear into the grille, figured it couldn't hurt to do, especially if I change the grille to a billet later on. I don't like how you can see the structure of the car through the grille, so I figured the black-out treatment would do the trick. Would have been nice to see the cars come like that from the factory.
I just ordered J&M lower control arms for the rear of my car, figure that should help keep wheel hop to a minimum.

You'll love the boost in performance Glenn.

I'll take a few this afternoon. It kind looks like it was in a wreck with all the body parts laying around in my garage.

Thanks Glenn

Good idea Justin about the black paint. I may do the same thing.

Had about 1 1/2 hrs to work on the Roush fascia install after work today. The fascia is completely assembled and ready to install except I am going to try and come up with some custom bracketry to hang the license plate about were shown in these pictures. I have been busted several times thru the years for running without plates in this state so I need to come up with something. More later. Need to get a shower and head off to a Cajun style boil tonight.

Looking good Scott..hey is that a FlareSide pickup truck???? I havn't seen one of those for a few years.
Mark today on your calendar.....150 cars at the Mishawaka Auto show on Kamm's Island. Trophys for the top 40 cars.......I finished 41st (or worst). First time I didn't bring home the bling. Lots of club cars and older roadsters and the like. Not being in a club kills you at participation voting show. Oh well it was a beautiful day and my 2 daughters came by to visit.
