I don't really see how a JWT ecu would help, if anything it would probably make me lose power..

But I do want to go to a full stand alone later.. maybe.. Depends how far I want to take this car.

I finally got around to paint my car. It's starting to cool down, and it needs to be done before it gets to cold outside. I went to napa, got all my supplies and started on saturday afternoon. Sorry for all the camera phone pics, forgot my camera.

Here's a before picture.

Took off the front bumper, rear bumper, and side skirts, got her up on jack stands and such.



Hatch holes patched!



Car all masked off and primer/sealer sprayed



Roof painted black

And I cleaned up my wheels while the paint was drying



That's where i'm at now. Tomorrow we spray the rest of the car white, and hopefully it's back together the next day. I can't wait, i'll have more pictures later. I ended up with a Gallon of White, Quart of Black, Primer/Sealer, Reducers, Hardeners, sandpaper, all the materials basically for just under $200. Maybe have about 8 hours total into it, so i'm pretty happy. I Can't wait to see how it turns out.

So the air compressor decided it was time to die this morning. I made one pass around the car and it died. So it has one coat of white, which actually looks really good, but i'm going to do at least 3 or 4 haha.. Now I have to wait until Friday to finish this. Oh well.

Hey, give me a rundown on your taillight setup. What altezza set did you buy and how did you get them all red? I don't want to drop 300 on tails that someone will try to steal. Looks good btw.

They were like this I think, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ories

I did these like 4 years ago... I took off the lens and used transparent candy apple red spray paint from walmart, it's in a small can.. then I just used glass black with clear over it for the center. pretty easy.
