Another Update June 8.

Completed the audio wiring and speaker removal.
All interior pieces back in now it just needs a vacuum.

Re-Restored my front head lights and came out much much better. Used 800, 1000, 2000, 2500 grit sand paper and a polishing compound.

Installed front bumper and mounted front Lip.

Things left to do:

- Sand and Paint Side skirts
- Paint Calipers
- Remove the door windows and replace with my tinted ones
- Replace the Door switch bezel with my oem CF ones
- RePaint Wheel Center caps

Getting really close to finishing :)

- Finally a wash :D

^^ Thanks! here is another update!

The doors on the parts car didn't have tinted windows, so last 2 days i swapped out both the driver and passenger side windows since mine are tinted and i wanted tint!

and then decided to re finish the side mouldings!

And the opposite side I had also sanded the trim to the left of the window since it was rusting at the bottom.

Very neat.
Paint looks Matt in the freshly sprayed pic, but satin in the finished pic. Which is it, out of interest? :D

and here is a side shot with the side skirts just placed on (Not mounted) to test the color match of my paint job haha. Came out great!
