Even my bay doesn't match my paint.


Hell even Dustin's teal was repainted, and his bay doesn't match. But you cant tell cause it's close enough.

You just destroyed that car

Wrong...you paint it what you want the car to be so that way you dont have to do it again.

Guys its just primer lol. And the car is not my permanent shell.

It's a orignal maroon car that has been poorly painted over multiple times and has bad cancer rust. The point of painting the bay was to get it back to one color. My original plan was to primer and then paint it white and still is if I can find a close enough white.

I did do it in a parking lot and of course I was careful and had the courtesy for other peoples cars.

I might sand my car and just primer it because honestly it would look better that way then it does now.

I was never a huge person on upgrading the looks of my. Of course I want a clean car but I'd rather spend my money on making the engine perfect first.

So little update i broke my phone so i have no way to add pictures at the moment.

I got 90% of my parts in already with the rest on the way in the mail.

All i need is a

Catback exhaust
T3/T4 adapter

and to get the flanges welded up on my maifold for my Tial wastegate. Also do i need a gasket in between the wastegate and manifold flange ? where can i find it because it didnt come with the wastegate.

A gasket for the Screamer pipe was included
