Looks good man! Paint actually matches too.

Off topic: VirginaPS13 were you at VIR earlier this year for the Koni Challenge/drift competition? I swear I saw your car in a parking lot at VIR.

It looks like you may need a couple more coats, but it still looks way better than mis matched bumper.

I think most people just don't have the patience to make everything align perfect.Bent body panels don't help anything I'm sure.

Well then atleast scale it too 600x200

Forum rules are 600x200 max, so since yours is so tall i instantly assume it isnt a sig but part of the post.

Not being a Jackass, it just gets to me, when people have sigs that are too big, because im so easily confused.
