So as usual, as soon as I take some pics of my car, I change something..
Here's what she looked like when I woke up this morning...New to this site are the flat black hood, the side mirror paint, paint on the front bumper, JDM front badge, '08 front and rear badges (on hatch) and the paint on the hatch (pics below)

Left out pics of the whole back covered in paper and blue tape*
and any other pics of me masking and painting
but here are the finished (so far) pics of the outside.
I did the back right, I took apart the whole hatch, minus glass and taking the actual hatch off.

The l/p cutout/bumper bodyline

*Funny story, We got about 80% of the masking done when my buddy realized I had the wrong paint, so I had to drive ~12-14 mile roundtrip to buy the right paint...with the paper and tape still on the car

Technically, both...I did paint both of them. But yeah, the passenger side never quite sealed right after that, even after running a bead of silicone all the way around.

Yeah, but it only presents a problem when I get the car washed...if I wash it myself, no prob, I think the problem is at the bottom of the light, since the main difference between me washing and the machine washing is that the machine blows water from the bottom, and I just can't.
