Valve cover is different... not my taste though, I like a clean look. Maybe if you did your fuse box cover the sme way it would look good!

lmao i wish i could. what been buggin me is trying to find a way to mount the lip kit on the car, without it being pushed on all the way on the front and rear bumper. I did a quick fit and the holes and clips fit so perfect, that if it was pulled out a bit from the bumper, the side of the front bumper pieces wont fit in the hole at all, so i have to play with it to see what I can do.

But finished parts are starting to pile up in my room

I know, i tried a flat head and think i actually made a dimple in the bumper where the flathead was pushing from the inside. I have to look at it and see how bad it is, i may have to use some heat and fix it. But we wound up just getting a pocket knife and pushing them out. It was a HUGE pain in the ass, i needed some1 to come help me for that part.

Damn looking good. How long did it take you to get everything from the interior taken out and sprayed/dyed?

hmm, gotta remember. took like an hour to get headliner, sunvisors, sunroof, all plastic headliner parts/switches/ etc. out. Took like 4 cans of SEM black colorcoat and like 2 hours of spray dying. Rest of the interior trim around radio controls popped out in like 5 minutes. Then just scuffed with a scotch bright, hit with adhesion promoter and sprayed

its not installed yet so we'll have to see when i put it all in. But i realized i never sprayed any adhesion promoter on it. That was a rookie mistake on my part. That stuff really helps that paint adhere and last on plastic. If it chips im just gonna have to remove it and scuff it up, spray adhesion promoter and hit it again. Id recommend you try that too, even get some rattle can satin clear to spray over the top of it if you need to. That will add some protection to it
