I noticed in the pictures above, why is your front flare black, and the rear is faded? Did you do something to the front? It looks good
Yeah we figured out that it was in a front end accident of some sort a long time ago. It also doesn't have the sport logo on it. It isn't very noticeable at all in person though.

I may have to try that. I tried Mothers Back to Black last summer, and it looked good........for about two weeks. I have been contemplating hitting them with Krylon Fusion rattle can this summer....not sure I want to deal with the chipping of spray paint however..Thanks for the recommendation

Thanks! It will be slow, but I plan to keep progressing with it. It should pick up this summer!

Kinda what I had thought...except when I saw the 117 amp from the build sheet, and having that option from the parts store, it made me begin to wonder.

We FINALLY hit 50* for the first time since early October, so decided to wash it yesterday to get off the Winter road grime. Well, of course, between last night and this morning, we have got like 1/2" of rain. My luck right there.

Still haven't got a chance to get the H4 conversion finished nor the Dynomax put on. I am contemplating on getting a Magnaflow highflow cat and doing it all at the same time. It's going exceptionally slow now, as I paid for school around a month ago, and am moneyless. It will get done though!
