Love that color...what is it...? Also, that blue sticker kind of throws off the flow for me...maybe a dark grey would be better?

Guys, I haven't finished all the touches up. I haven't shown any of the interior stuff either.

Just like the coils being lowered - I havent had a chance to pull the blue sticker off, nor repaint the calipers.

Realize, I did pick the car up last night, and the pictures I took were (obviously) sitting in a gas station at 9:30 the evening I picked it up wink.gif

I have some more stuff to modify/fix, and paint a little in the engine bay, then you all can see that too...

Edit: taillights - I haven't gotten to them yet, I have something laying on the floor for them....

Also, I'm looking into some kind of accent for the high beams and doing soomething with fogs... Some other stuff... you know how it goes wink.gif

The color is "Dark Otter Metallic"

I agree with blu94gt about the vader rear. Other than that, I think its nicely done. Is the VIS hood painted too?

By the way, the graphics over the pictures are very distracting. How about posting the pictures without that lettering so we can see the car better?

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

I'll get some better pictures up with the other Olympus cam, sometime.

Vis hood is NOT painted... the hood spoiler is painted the body color though.

Ash, call me or IM me and you're welcome to - I'll meet you somewhere. Let me know.

First and foremost, the car is dirty as junk, I know. I've had it in the garage since tuesday, trying to fix the oil leak and turbo problems.. no time to polish it when going to college, working 15-30hrs a week, and fixing the mechanics.

Before anyone says anything - I need to get my **** together and cut, bend, and weld up my intercooler piping and exhuast. (The intercooler is not plumbed, exhaust midpipe is stock). See above.

I'm also going to get some outdoor pictures of the paint and such, these dont do it much justice. Its not perfect, but its not too bad.

Hopefully I'll have some interior pictures up when I get all my components delivered... dont have an ETA on that yet. Probably redoing electrical, putting the racing seats back in, painting some things, maybe some fiberglass... etc. This is the bottom of my priority list tongue.gif

Some of you wanted to see the bottom of the Vis hood:

95celicast, for everything that was done to the car, with labor,parts (body kit, hood, engine components, ect.), and paint ect.....he ended up at $5000. The thing that made it so expensive was all the new parts as well as the engine rebuild...he only paid $1000 for the paint job. But it was still pricey (sp)

I like the vader rear bumper, But it looks a lot better when the whole kit is vader or Veilside, cause then all the curves match. But mark you gotta really really nice ride. i love it.

I usually thoguht it was polite to privately ask questions like that, guess you didn't get the insinuation.

However, that bill went up since I have to fix problems that weren't taken care of.. but at least its my labor this time.

edit. I wouldnt mind just having a rear lip.. but I didnt have a stock rear bumper.. so I wouldve had to find a stock panel, and then buy the lip. Most places sell invader parts with the zyclone front, for reasons beyond me.
