    I got the platic plugs out. i found where the screws are but i cant reach them without a like 90 deg ngle screwdriver. which i dont have. and black mudflaps look SOOO much better. the rearones arnt at the same height idk if i should fix it. it doesnt look noticeable. ive legit jacked and took the wheel of like 10 timees now. sooo much work just for a mudflap haha. ill post a pic of the mudflaps tmrw.

    Is it bad that im addicted to taking pictures of my ride? I love taking pics of this car haha.
    Since I already have holes in my trunk from the replica wing i hav eon now would it be possible to get a real EVO8 or EVO9 wing and put it on??
    I had about $200 for an exhaust but i blew $40 for a power drilll for the mud flaps and another $40 on the girlfriend haha.
    SO i got wait like 3 or 4 weeks. Been gettign shit hours at work. Gettign like $30 every weekend. Before the summer i was gettign close to $120 a weekend..haha thats life tho.

    Looks good, Def get some black housing or black projectors! The smoked look is soo overdone so I would stay away from tinted headlights.

    I have a question about your mudflaps, did you make them or buy them?

    If you made them, what plastic did you use and how much did it cost?

    If you bought them, where and how much did they cost?

    Thanks

    dont worry, i used Rust o leum automotive primer (black), then i hit it with duplicolor dashpaint. then i used acryllic enamel to clear coat it. in heavy rain the paint DOES chip. otherwise it is good. and when i say heavy rain i mean like hurricane earl.

    Lolz, Thanks.

    I guess you better cover up your car quick or get some more paint to do the job again once Earl passes ;)
