I thought the red paint just hadn't been wetsanded and buffed?

The new "paint" looks like a combination of childrens' glitter and Elmer's glue.

hmm which exhaust are you referring to? dont think you can see it in my pics.. the one i have now is 3" pipe off the fake cat, magnaflow muffler, then split to a pair of slash cut chrome tips. is that the one you are saying is overboard? cause the one i had before was way more goofy, haha.

car has fully been changed over to blue, both flares are on, everything is screwed together, cut out the fenders and banged around on stuff, no rubbing.

front wheels will go on as soon as i get some tires (somone sell me a cheap pair of 18s, 235 or wider)

the glitter is gone... why did the car have glitters out of curiosity? I don't seen any glitters in the final version, I have to say, from that pic it looks good, I definitley like these wheels > your HREs.

yep, clears by a mile, haha. its the high caliper face all around (wish it was low face in the back and medium in the front, oh well). also while im posting, no shock clearance problems either. need to realign my rear though, rear wheels are too far back in the fender wells, causes slight rubbing on off camber bumps, like going diagonal up a driveway or whatever.
