Why did you have the whole rear end painted blue instead of keeping the defuser black? Also, I would recomend painting the FMIC support black since it's at such a noticeable angle. Other than that the paint work and the car as a whole came out really nice!

Thanks guys. I did ask them to paint the defuser part black, they just forgot so I'll take care of that later.
I do need to pull off the front bumper though and paint a few things black (like the top of the intercooler and the bracket). I just didn't get a chance to do that before they re-assembled it. Plus I want to re-locate the "hela" horns so they aren't so obvious. I also need to install the Aerocatch hood pins, re-tune it, and a few other odds and ends.

Did you order authentic charge speed fenders the 2nd time or was it a replica? In the end, what front fenders did you go with?

I ordered authentic chargespeed both times.. The first set was broken the second set was so far off from fitting that the auto body shop refused to try and mount them. When they tried to fit them at all they started cracking and were too far off to line up without breaking them and re-molding them to the correct shape.. Basically they are the worst fitting POS's I've ever seen..
I still have the original set that I fixed the cracks and stuff on if anyone wants to buy them CHEAP!!!
In the end I just went with stock fenders. I didn't want to waste any more money on body work..

I had a photoshoot for a website last night so I snapped a couple of my own. I'll post up the link to the site once the pics are posted.
Anyway, here's how she sits now. Almost done..
