yours is one of the few out here that is not a picture manifestation (with second grille ) ... actually looks as good or better in person...

And yes it's cool to have comments like that

Did you just tell me my car looks like $hit in person?



Yeah, that's what I was implying with my post

nope. I didnt name names... I could, but wont... and I didnt say they look like ****, they just dont look as "clean" as people think on the internet... lots of mess out there when you look in person - but they come across on the forums as show quality.

radiator, condenser, rad. support, side skirt, rear bumper, floor pan, they think my fender were damaged so they are repairing those and painting the hood too, buffing my exhaust, all the undertrays, some air ducts, fender liner, washer fluid bottle, and i think that about does it

*Knock on Wood* I still do not have a single dent on my car but I do have a handful of rock chips. I stopped daily driving my car when I dropped it and put the wheels on. 92k on mine. I think in September I will take it off the road till next summer. I think I want to revamp my whole setup. Lot of things I am not happy with.

Man, if I was back home in Hawaii...I'd easily be slam'd.
I just can't justify doing it here in WA.
And the vip scene is as big as ever back in the islands I'm assuming?

I agree! So many details in your bay you cannot capture on camera.
