Yes, here's link that I've posted. But, I decided to go with black paint due to large areas of patch work showing. Going for the Red/black wing JDM MR look.

I'm sorry about this guys. I think my friend really messed up my wing clearcoating, because I haven't been able to get in contact with him since Sunday afternoon.

My trunk eagerly awaits it's return.

He said "I'll bring it to you today! I'll call you when I'm going to go over". We'll see if it happens.
