Well here is the car again with the trunk done. and tails back in. spoiler goes back on tomorrow. its coming along nice except for on the left side of the upper hatch(beside the window) i got some orange peel prob. it didnt do this anywhere else. im a little confused about it. again pic is a little dark but you get the idea

heres a pic right before it got dark. oh, how do you like my new exhaust position? I welded on my new CF muffler the other day. I thought the position looked pretty nice

sweet. maybe we should start a grey tib club. j/k. yeah i love the color just cant wait to finish the car. not having a place indoors to shoot it in is hurting along with weather and bugs and so forth. there are so many variables when spraying outdoors. so far i guess i chose the right days its coming out beautifully. id give my left nut for a paint booth so i could do it all at once
