Major Major Update LOL

I finally received the EVO V Wing from Saj, I got it in 2 days WOW!

The fun part is installing the wing but it took me an hour to buff away the oxidized trunk and wing, after that it looks brand new again.

The paint is almost the same about 95% match to the Rally Red paint job.

Check out how close the paint is. If I told you that I repainted the trunk and wing to match the body color you would belive me. LOL

Trunk looks great! Nice job buffing it out! So the outside basically complete - what's next? Interior? Drivetrain?

Interior is next, then the drivetrain.

Nice work on such a quick transformation. :thumbsup:

If I have one critique, I would say you should've left the window frames black. Genuine Evo V's don't have them colour matched, but it could just be your personal preference.

Here's one of our local ones from here in Sydney, as an example:
