Here are some pictures of stuff people requested.

Front emblem. I had a hard time getting a good shot of this. As you can see, paint is not the best idea. I'm going to get some vinyl stickers made so it wont chip off.


Here are the rear emblems. I ordered the UK MR badge but I don't know if I want to put it on because it is red. I was thinking about putting it on the bottom right (under the key hole).



Here is a shot of the valve cover. I originally had the throttle cable goin over it. When I moved it, the bracket scraped some paint off. Guess I'll have to redo this as well. I also painted the heat sheild and that didn't turn out very well either. It will get powder coated.



Here are two other pics.
I painted the A-pillar black. I never noticed how bad it stood out until you guys said something. The interior has also been stripped out because this car is only for track use now. The harnesses are awesome and I think they improved my lap times


And here is the hazard button. I used the VHT Night Shades for this as well. I just masked it off and painted it because I didn't feel like taking apart the dash.

Yeah, a lot of people have said that. I really like the JDM lights but I wanted to do something different (and this only cost about 20 bucks and a few hours of my time).

It took about 7 coats to get it where I wanted. Those were really lite coats, though. I then wet sanded it to make it really smooth.
