Well its that time of year again! I havnt posted much on here lately but I figured I would let everyone know what I have planned for the coming year. I missed my first shootout in several this year and hope not to miss any more in the future! Well Here is what I have planned for this year!

1. New Custom hood with quick latch hood pins and custom grille.
2. Custom paint (E4 red with Red Ice pearl)
3. SCU bushing kit for rear
possibly coil overs

Not a big list right? lol we all know how that turns out but I have High hopes for how it is going to turn out, kind of feels like the end of the yellow brick road.

That hood will take a lot of fitting around the lights or so Im told. I have my car in a thousand pieces going a different direction. Would love changing up the paint but have no time to go that far this winter

Interested to see the pearl.
You can only see it when the light hits it and it looks metallic. It should match up really well with the effect of the carbon fiber. It's getting late model door handles and trim painted body color and I'm going to shave the prehistoric antenna.

For once this is as far apart as it is going to get ken. Paint is and always has been the last step for me.
 
Looking forward to seeing it after paint. Suggest spending the extra money to get the underside of the hood looking nice too.

It is somewhere between these two chris. It will be alot more subtle on my car like the supra because of the shade of red.

It won't be anything like the darker one I only put that pic on there to show the effect in the light. You can only see the pearl in the light. I have decided to go solid color on all the trim and late model door handles. I am probably going to delete the keypad as well.
 
Well I decided to scrap painting the whole car because I didn't like the ice pearl sample but it is getting painted where it needs it and any damage ( rust ) is being repaired. Should be done within the next month or so.
 
keep on keepin on bro.
it's coming along. The hood is 99% done, top, trunk lid and ground effects are ready for paint. The quick latch hood pins, fox grille and rocker replacement are all I'm waiting on. I will post pics soon......
