got some more pics. Hood and grille is painted. Very slick. Got rear hubs in. Bought tires...nothing special, 225/40 falkens. Thats all they made in 16x8...and i wasnt going 50 series. These have a good amount of rubber. Got r32 rims in on thursday. I sanded them down and am repainting them tomorrow. I have a before and after pic of the sanding.......you will shit yourself lol. Look new. I used a DA on the actual rim part to sand off all the curbed marks. There forged alluminum so its easy to sand down since alluminum is so soft. They should look brand new when im done. Actually better than new since factory wheels arn't really clear coated to well. These will shine like a fresh paint job. I dont have any up close pics of the face of the wheels sanded. They just look like sanded rims lol ugly.....so i didnt take pics. But i did take pics of the backs. You will see the improvement lol. But peep that finish on my hood. Shinier than shit lol its like glass. Cant wait to see the whole car like that. I used a shammy(sp) on the hood to dry it off....it freaking put swirl marks in the finish. Not a problem i just rebuffed it. But im NOT doing that to the whole car every time. So i have to get some special soft towels to dry the car off now. Its to fine to wipe off with regular towels lol. I did spend about 20 hours wet sanding that bitch. My fingers hurt to type.....wore through my skin till i was bleeding. But my hands are soft now.....lol, no really they are. 2000 grit does that.

peak pro hubs are on back order. So now all i need is 5-lug rotors. Then its all motor from there. Just waiting on turbo240 to release there kit.



oh yea see sig for link.....then click "my240's" new pics are at the bottom

those springs are for the scion man looololololo.......remember i got the tein flex coil overs. I know i know, i bought them way back in highschool. I think that was about 3-4 years ago. When they first came out. Ill prolly buy the kts ones later down the road. But for now these will do.



ALSO, i just uploaded pics of the wheels fully painted and cleared. They look 100x better. ITs cloudy out today, so they aren't really gleaming in the sun. They just look way shinier.
