Man, you did a great job.... I spent about 8 dollars at the car wash today and my car still looks filthy. I wish I could afford to have some concrete poured leading into the barn so I could wash it by hand at home and not be tracking wet sand into it when finished... I guess I could swing it if I wasn't putting so much into a slowly evolving monster... It may be better if i was to plant a garden but then I would have to work in it and my back and knees aren't up to it just like they aren't up to hand washing the car..... In time I will be able to plant potatoes on the car if I just let the dirt build up and let it sit out in the sun.

thanks Bthasht! and the rest of you guys for your input



i also screwed the lip in from the underside into the bumper so it's esentially stock bumper height off the ground and it seems like it's helpped my scraping issue! very very happy now (altho she doesn't look slammed anymore!! )

haha still looks good Chris, maybe we'll experiment with a DIY lip like mine and see what it looks like but then again you'll probably scrape that up too haha jk

Lookin Dougie Fresh

link to where you got it from???

Finished front splitters in paint booth last night. Will take pics tonight, and hopefully install as well. They look very good and should add some flair to front end, and provide some scrape protection. Not to mention mini truckers sparks

I bought it on this forum. $50 shipped (which is a good price for me). You can go to ICB motorsports, and I think they're about $70 pus shipping there.

^^ Big mike, I bought mine from rocksagd3 on the thread you are thinking of. They are aluminum, and nicely created. My paint shop is in my garage at home. Consists of plywood on floor, drop flood light, ceiling fluorescent lights, and thats the paint booth
