Looks good Flint! I like the red, it was a red one or the blue for me. I went with the blue 2014 one tho I still like the red.

CONCRETETC

Looks damn good! Very nicely done

I love the spec-D tail lights. I kind of want to tint my 2014 tail lights, but if I don't like it I hear it is hard to remove.

FlintMica17

If you leave tint on for a long time, yes it could be a bit difficult to remove. On previous cars I've owned I have used VHT Niteshades. There is a bit of work that goes into that if you choose to go that route with all the sanding and buffing. When you want to remove it, (this may sound a bit barbaric) just use a little bit of gasoline and a rag. It EASILY comes off using that method.

How often are there shows like that in Ohio I never seem to hear about any living in the Lima area but I wouldn't mind driving 2 hours every now and then for it

FlintMica17

Thanks KidJustin, I'll be sure to do that when I have funds freed up next year lol.

FlintMica17

The arthritis show is the big one and it's only once per year. There is a plethora of other smaller shows I try to make it to throughout the summer. We also have a scikotics chapter here and you are free to join in whenever. I can send you the info if you'd like.

Looking good! Those wheels go really well with the red.

CONCRETETC

Beautiful. The wheels are sick.

FlintMica17

Thanks guys I appreciate it! Can't wait to get her cleaned up and take some new pics! I'm debating whether to leave the platidip on or take it off on the front bumper.....I think it will look cleaner with it off.
