alright so i got the call from the Miami Autoworks that they started fitting the fenders on
i couldnt wait to see what the URAS GT front bumper would look like with the FEED Fenders so i pushed on the front bumper...and first impressions are INSANITY!!
check this out!! take into account that the bumper isn't bolted on...its just pushed on

So they finally sprayed some preliminary primer to make sure the lines are good and to make any adjustments
car should be going getting full primer and color tomorrow!!!
then it'll bake for about a week, then buff and polish, and she'll be on her way back to my house!!
I can't wait to get the fenders 100% bolted on...its gona look crazy!!!

They started the 2nd layer of primering the fenders, doors, and body
then they'll sand it down again to make sure all the lines are right
then if it gets cleared by Mike the owner of Miami Autoworks, it goes in for color
also
Finally got to putting the threaded inserts into the body to bolt on the rear fenders
such a freaking scary moment to see them drilling into the body of my car!!! :bigeyes::bigeyes::bigeyes:
I almost jumped in front of the drill to save her!! lmaooo
but the finished product became really nice with the stainless button head fasteners :nod:

Car came out of the paint booth...and Miami Autoworks, my body shop, is the best freaking body shop on the planet. period.
heres pics of the car out of the booth...no wet sand....no buff...just the final layer of clear over it
now i'll be taking the fenders off...take her home, get her all started up and running, put the body parts back on...then after about a month, once the clear has properly cured, i'll bring her back to get completely wet sanded and buffed
look at the metallic and its not even outside in the sun!!!
enjoy!!

:
-Re-A Pro diffuser w/side and center vortex generators
-FEED side steps
Garage BB 1600mm wing
Got my 99 spec lights as well...i was going to go OEM but i got found these smoked out turn signal ones and like them a lot more
also got a set of Five-0 2200cc "Silver Bullet" injectors
they're basically a set of flow-matched 2200cc Bosch EV14s

im so happy i went with threaded inserts and allen bolts instead of just sheet metal screws
she's so nice and curvy now!! Roxy has gone from Kiera Knightley to Kim Kardashian!!! lmaooo

She's starting to look like a car again!!!
if all goes well i should be able to get her back at my house on friday
Also i tried on the Garage BB 1600mm wing on my bosses FD, and it looks like its going to be the perfect width for Roxy with the wide body.
