I will smaay. Its next on my list. Lol. Now in debating on bailing on the front conversion and do the v6 swap first. My uncle talked some sense into me that my engine will go out first before the body paint will fade. My engine is at 215k miles. So now he has me second thinking everything. The amount of money I spend on the body paint is will be close to a v6 swap cost. Lol. Then again I want to wait until my next smog to do the v6 swap. So ill have the 2 year gap to BAR it. Next year will be my smog year. So either next year or 2017. -_-
