aint posted in while and i know you guys love pics so here they are. i got a new grill and head and taillight overlays. new carbonfiber handles and gas lid. a new jvc cd and tape headunit. i threw in a pic of my sportmaxs peeling too. i talked to a guy in florida yesterday and im getting them powder coated gloss black. keeping the rivets, center caps and valve stems chromo. should look pretty good. i actually just got it back from the bodyshop and the passenger door, fender, and front bumper painted thanks to some old dude that doesnt know how to use rearveiw mirrors.

Looks good, now you have to drop it. 2" should do the trick.

ppppppppP-E-E-L-I-N-G?!?

What caused your oo2s to peel? is that the clear coat going off? I was considering the red oo2s but NOT if the quality of finish isn't there : /

yeah the clearcoat is chipping off. its only on 1 wheel. i contacted primax and they said i have to take it up with the dealer i bought them from. i got them on ebay like 4 months ago so i dont even know the seller anymore. thats why i am having them powdercoated black.

Looks good. The clear on my 002s has peeled on all 4. I was going to call Sportmax today to complain. Theyre only a few months old. There is no way they should be peeling. If they wont replace them I'll be powdercoating as well...

Ride looks good. I like the grill....

I'd do the stock grill in BSP. Loose the fake CF thingy on the gas door, it looks cheezy and why bring more attention to the gas door?
Those wheels are hot. Why not just have the peeling stuff stripped and then repolished to a high luster then clear powdercoat them. At least you resisted the black wheel with polished lip thing that EVERYONE else has.
Looks like a nice start and love the SRP color for sure!!!
