    That bodykit looks sooooo much sexier now, with the new improvements, BTW. It's absolutely jawdroppingly badazz.

    Or lay them face down, i did that to one of my pf-01s by accident and it got an admittedly tiny scratch but hard to forgive myself given how much effort i expend to keep the wheels looking nice..... even though they are my track wheels and get mountains of dust every event hahahaha at least i admit i am nuts

    It's so exciting at this stage of a rebuild when all the new bits and pieces start making their way home. Great thread and great color to boot! :D

    Bumper fitted today and possibly going out for paint. To say I'm excited to see the finished paint job would be an understatement. Discussed some of the paint details with Chad and away it goes!

    Body work is in full swing! Front and rear bumpers shaved (removed the license plate surrounds on fronts and the backup sensor junk from the rear)
    This very well could be the last images of it as stock Hyper Blue!

    I was just taking to Chad and forgot to ask how your car was coming along. Then I see this update. How fortuitous.

    Getting painted tomorrow. Stopped by Lafata Auto Body this morning with Chad to confirm the color selection. Still liked the same one I choose way back in November! All lights are GREEN! GO FOR PAINT!
