ahhhh sorry I didnt reply earlier! HK was awesome. I miss it already! I'm planning to go back for work now (yes, unemployed now, so trying to see if I can find a job there)


but anyways, I haven't been active here recently, was busy...painting some stuff.....

I finally removed my spring wheels and refinished my summer wheels, (removed the vinyl black lip, and painted the lips Satin Black with two coats of clear. then added the Red Time Attack ring, yes. again. just like the old car. haha.

Also added some minor CF accents to match the lip and diffuser. enjoy! and repainted the roof spoiler due to that horrible mismatched color :bawling:



















during painting process...



top unpainted but sanded/ bottom painted







during paint...
