Color not too bad, SVT accross car not so good, floor matts a big ugly then I get to this.. http://www.fantomforce.com/Caleb/102_0464.JPGNot cool looking at all. Looks awful on top of the fact it wasn't done very well. You can see the outline of the cap still.

He's just saying that because CSVTs are special and should be kept in somewhat tack, thats all. BTW, nice job on the car anyways

I actually did all the body work. It was my first attempt at any bodywork at all and the gas door was the hardest part. The handles and all key lock and antenna and 24v emblems turned out perfect. The gas door looked good to my eye when just sanded and glazed but as you can see when painted you can see the outline. But you would be surprised at how many people still love it even though it is not perfect. The SVT on the side was a must as after everything was gone it was too plain. It is not just a decal is is cleared over so it is smoothed in. My favorite part of the car is the hood which pictures cannot show how cool it actually is. It was just cleared with the blue pearl and the light blue flake so you can actually still see the carbon fiber. It looks like the weave is soo far down now. Overall I am very happy as i did it all for $1300 and everything is done jams and under trunk and under hood. I have a couple of pictures from a show in Pittsburgh last weekend called Import Fusion I am going to post as soon as I get my friends camera. I had a stripper on my hood in a G String so it must not be too bad a job on teh paint.

In that case props for making it not look like total s-[censored]-t. Nice work for your first time doing bodywork.

SVT on the side is sweet. I just can't agree with that fuel door. The design itself doesn't seem to make sence. I guess the reason were being so hard on you is because your car is som damn sweet. And when something is that awesome, we expect it to be perfect.

Also tach was 50 bucks and the shiftlight is nice to have. As you see from the car I am not a ricer but the stock mats are destroyed and I could not get my hands on another set and you can't match that color so diamond plate is only the only quick solution
