Just got back home from the muffler shop. Got a custom straight-piped exhaust. Sounds amazing.
Going to wash it, fill up, then head to Vero Beach, FL!

DIY paint? Nice work. I can't stand the clear-coat smell and hung up all my paint guns. Not having a paint booth to spray is hell.

$400 a fender? That's ridiculous. On my 2006 I had my front bumper painted for $200, hood for $200, and my hatch debadged and painted for $250.

Thanks.
Yes it's DIY. I did in my garage. Id love to have a booth but garage will do for now. $400 is a bit much to paint a fender. A pint of base was $30 which can still be reduced to more. About 1/4 of a pint (2-3 coats) did the fender. The clear and hardener is a a little bit more in price. But I had all of that left over.

Hot air intake FTL , 3 HP per 10 degrees and you will pull 170 degree air even with the car in motion.
More wiring for me, almost finished and time to assemble my interior again. Well what's left of my interior
