Just wondering why you didn't go on and shave the antenna while you were at it?

I have a few pics of his car up on my pictures from the NW Maxima 5/18 meet. You can find them here: http://www.daviddenmark.com/gallery/...01&page=1.
Yeah the car looks really good in person. I can't wait until the rest of the body parts are completed. I also saw the matching interior trim too. Very nice.

I like the shaved molding, but the fuel door is a little much for my taste.

Trust me I know I need 19's. The lack of funds is currently hurting the situation at the moment.

I didn't shave the handles as I drive it every day and didn't want to have to deal with door poppers.

The climate control will be painted soon as well as other bits and pieces.

The car also needs a REALLY good cut and buff done. They didn't have a whole lot of time to get at it really good.
Thanks for all the compliments and ideas. All is appreciated!!

Oh yeah, the sideskirts are molded on as well.
Wait, they didnt sand it (or even Tri-Zac) it yet? Then they get to compound it and then polish it and then glaze it. Woohoo!

How clean was the paint job? Ay little "snots" in it. (Well, that's what we call them)

Looks good Matt. Do you know what kind of clar they used on it?

Here's how it looked down in Sonoma, California at the NHRA Sport Compact Nationals on September 7th.

Those wheels are SSR Agle Struss 2 Piece.

Orange is one of my favorite colors and I must say that the car is tight.
