hahah as much as i want tooo, i'm super picky and some of it needs sanded just a tad with a finer grit sand paper lol the ribs actually turned out really well so far but the side where the tb is needs sanded with finer and i need to use a smaller buffer on some of the corners and curved spots lol i'm hoping i'll be able to do that friday/saturday and have it on saturday/sunday so its sooooon! im waiting on the tune anyway lol
thanks! yeah, it's like in all the pics the snout looks weird, but it's shining up pretty good with the buffer lol and thanks! it's funny, people are always surprised that it's my car like if the bf and i go somewhere in it or at shows if we decide to take only one of our cars and take mine, we'll be cleaning it and people will start talking to him about it i'm like 
i've been in the garage with my dad a lot since as long as i can remember lol

Shes lucky I taught her the right way. My theory is don't do it unless your going to do it right!
I am very proud of her. Shes done 90% percent of the work. The other 10% is me polishing the supercharger because its to heavy for her to hold for a long time.
Of course there is things that she doesn't know, but that's why she has me and of her dad.
All in all its turning out good, and should be running next weekend!

...i learned alot from my dad too since i was like 5 working in the garage with him 
good thing you guys can answer my dumb questions sometimes!! but proud of me?! dawwwhh
thaankss! good thing you can hold the supercharger at the buffer! lol i prefer the smaller buffing things on the drill so then i dont have to hold the supercharger which actually ended up working well to get down in corners and such... i'm like a kid waiting for christmas waiting for the damn tune
cant freaking wait. it actually wasnt that hard...it just sucked cause there was soooo much fabric at the beginning lol that gauge pod on the other hand 
what a pain in the ass that was lol

ugh, idk about the tuning today now. the plan was to get the last couple things done last night and tune today...we get to putting the intake on. easy enough, right? wrong.
it hits my damn brake lines, apparently because it's a 3 inch, so it wont sit right to connect to the other half. wtf. so now idk what i'm gonna do about that.

I had to cut my coupler that attached the intake to tb once the intake is on mine doesnt hit the lines but at first it will wat i did was attached the intake and tb together first off the car then installed it to sc but easier said than done plus my intake is a 2 piece which allowed me to do that
