I wanna play a game... I'm going to guess answers, let's see how close I am 
So... how'd I do?
oh yeah, almost forgot. Pics look awesome man. The purple over CF is sick. I know how hard that can be to capture in a photograph, but I've seen very similar finishes in person and I absolutely LOVE the way it looks

Color looks great, very nice work guys.
I'm curious about a few things:
Why didn't you remove the side molding?
If you saw all the door dings I had removed youd keep them...
Why did you choose to go with the doggy door trunk?
It was what was available at the time...and for some reason I kinda like it
Why can't Starfe use the pic of your trunk?
Because they do unethical business IMO..getting that trunk was a drawn out unpleasant experience I never posted on the forums.
What work did you do the fenders, I can't tell.
The fender is slightly wider(not as far as vivek)+flat roll..hard to tell in pics
What paint work did you have done in the engine bay?
none as of yet....its about 35 degrees out so thats gonna have to wait until spring
What kind of exhaust is that?
actually a stillen gen1 that had been elongated to clear a RICE rear end i had before this lol havent figured out whats gonna be done yet.

Well he had some damage from his wheel hitting so I didnt have to be all surgical about it. I used a slide hammer with a few different attachments, then I used a body hammer and a dolly to get it straight. His wheel did so much damage on one side it was actually tearing his metal so I had to weld the crack up too. It was a nightmare lol. I probably had 15 hours in labor between both quarters. They are probably pulled a little over a 1/4" and the inner lip is flat now. I forget to be honest it was in the summer that I did all the metal work.
Im sure when Marco see's my engine bay next spring we will get his back to my house and finish this color change off.

Haha yeah I like the look of no molding just as much as everyone else but people are inconsiderate
