Wow that's.... interesting. What exactly is going on there? Whatever the paint job is, it's causing blending and glare that is really screwing with the curves and lines of the car, at least in pictures. In certain areas it looks warped, dented or unfinished. Those nifty sideskirts you did are now to...

Took a couple more shots today. Car should be finished in a couple of weeks. The sideskirts are mounted, but the ends are going to be shaped to blend in with the wheel well. Right now they stick out a little bit. You can also see the door jambs blasted with some of the silver paint. http://www.ctrla...

The rear bumper is the BC2 bumper. The rims are MSR 17"s. The color will be Sunlight Silver Metallic, one of the newer Mazda silvers. Black rims, carbon fiber hood, and the windows will be tinted. Theme is silver and black, with a gray/silver and black interior. Sort of a spectre-like thing. Al...

Not too much longer now... (Bodyshop pics)

Feels like I've been without my car forever. But she's getting there. Once the projectors are cut to fit, the whole front end can be tied together nice and snug, then the sideskirts mounted, and she should be ready for paint. http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/images/journal/822_01.jpg http://www.ctrl...

That front bumper looks very similar to the one Cris Barros and Oscar were going to produce. THAT bumper I loved. In fact I think most people here did. But it never came to be.

Yeah, I broke down and ordered some civic projectors. We're going to do the swap.

Better to do it now while the fenders and front bumper are off the car, so we can get it fitted and everything before we paint.

Yeah I was trying to avoid any major fabrication. And it's not bling, it's called a theme. My entire car is silver and black. I have black altezzas, and black headlight housings would tie it all together. On top of that, the reflective coating inside the headlight is all dulled and cracked, so it ha...

Black headlight housing

So my car is in the shop getting body work and paint. I've got some extra headlights here, and I just baked and opened up a passenger side headlight. I'm going to polish up the lense, and do some fiberglass reenforcement on the housing (cracked it in a couple of places) and then paint the exterior h...
