I went out and got a few cans of spray paint to refinish my hood and front bumper, The bumper came out great, the hood came out pretty good, I'm hoping a little bit of wax will smooth out the new clear coat though. =(

Did a little burn out to celebrate the new paint, I'm told the camera took like 15 seconds to take the next picture for some reason, so this is the only picture of it we had. That's quite a bit of smoke though =o

This was the bumper before, We fixed that gap between the hood and the bumper of course.

They aren't 180' wheels, why? Do they look like they are? I thought the 180 used the same alloys as the 240 =(

17 x 7.5 with 215/45 GY Eagle F1 tires, I was thinking about going the next size up on the tires, but Having an accurate speedometer is handy. =)

The bumper was really easy, 3 coats of black, 2 clear coats. The hood on the other hand was VERY tough, and it's far from perfect. I think we ended up with 5 coats of black and 3 clear coats.
It hasn't been waxed yet (the new paint) I'm going to do that today assuming I can get the car running today. ^^
