i think it looks beautiful with the exception of yellow foglights and hood pins. i also think some bigger rims would do magic. and maybe paint the hood. and if you have time duplicolor high temp paint costs like $8.00 with a can that you can do 4 cars with so yeah paint those brakes and hubs from rusting!

wheel bearing job is tough.

looks like most of that paint transfer will buff right out lilo, unless you got any deep scartches along with that.

Lol, clear corners, and then amber fogs. Looks god all around.

Just scrub that paint and it should come off. When I got my tib there were black marks from another car. The owner said she tried everything to get it off. I just used Mr cleans magic eraser and it came right off. Now it does say NOT to use on paint but it didn't do anything to mine.

i was going to buff out whatever i could but i got some one who would paint the whole quarter panel for around $200-$300. the hood pins have to stay on or else the hood flaps on the highway. i want to get so OZ rally rims from the lancer on it but also looking a rotas.

i also rust proof underneath the car and in the wheel wells. it's a dirty job when the cars jacked up and you have to crawl underneath.

^it's easy to do. the first time it took me a while and i had a table clamp to press the bearing in but broke on the second one so i half @ssed the second one that's why it rusted out over winter. but if you time how long it took, it was probably 45mins to an hour, i had a hyudralic press this time and everything was easier since i anti-seized everything last summer. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND ANTI-SEIZE!!!!
