I did not read all the post, but judging by the paint work-I'm guessing a common guy like me would probably spend around 5 G's for the re-paint right?
Nice work though, yours is a lighter shade than XCLER8 but nice orange color nonetheless. Wonder if I could do Lambo green on mine hmmmm. Can somebody please photochop me one.

I'm just going to assume you've never painted a car then. And dust is not going to damage anything, you can take a hose to your motor.

they do design these cars to get dusty.

You suck up the pain of the $$$$$ and attribute it to modfever.

The car is beatiful! I even like the orange. You are making me regret not getting the carbon fiber hood, I chose the fiberglass model - so there was nothing worth showing through the paint. May look cool to detail those vents in a different color now that Ive seen it on yours!



Did you widebody the car as well (doesnt look like it) or just ground effects (rockers, spoiler, etc).

Again - great job.

One note, the front spoiler sticks out there! Even if you put the little wheels that mount on the air dam frame, if you lower the car youll hit (if you look on the corners of the spoiler in this pick you can see what some steep driveways did.)
