paint...stage 1

well, I have about finished up with my engine compartment. The body is about ready to begin painting as well. Then I get the new hood, new spoiler and the rest of engine components put on by this summer! This is a project that I have been working on for 4 years. The car has been painted 3 times already! I finally decided on yellow though.

I'll get it pulled out of the garage tomorrow to get some more pics. Those were taken at night under lights so didn't turn out the best.

yeah...I wasn't sure how I wanted teh car to look, it was just the coupe, with no gfx so I had to put some on. I decided to go with the Predator kit for the aggressive look and they will look good witht the Ram Air hood and the spoiler I am getting...I hope. I wanted a really low stance and the kit offers that by being slightly lower to the ground than stock gfx. I already installed shorter springs so i should get the stance I want this way.
