FM is soooo nice but, I have a question for you FM peoples. Is FM difficult to color match? With the flakes/sparkles in the paint it seems like it would be a real PITA to color match for a lip kit.

EH. I bought one from a person and the FM was completely flat. So I made my sponsor paint it again and it has all the flakes in it now. Much better.

i didn't take the pictures. my roommate is a freelance photographer, and he took them. he did use an artificial light and he did photoshop, but he didn't put all of his talent into it because it was just something to slap up on the forums. he had never taken any pictures of a car either. he does portraits. check out his work at http://www.myspace.com/danindrahos. he's extremely gifted, in my opinion.

yes, those are weathertechs, and i love them.

so far i've done: trd springs, weathertechs, shift boot conversion, door sills, and interior lighting. right now, i have an avic d3, kappa comps and a kappa 10 which will all be run through an infinity amp waiting to be installed. i also have a custom enclosure for that 10 which i got off here. should be a very nice setup. (if the comps would hurry up and get here)

my planned mods are:

1. replace the upper grill with a debadged grill (anyone know which, if any, of the ebay ones are worth it. are they all the same?)
2. bluebat overlays for heads and tails (and chrome/amber bulbs for heads)
3. hvac and gauge led swap (if i ever find anyone to do it within 100 miles of me - want to do a red/white combo)
4. swap rims. (looking for a decently priced set of 17" 5 spokes that my stock tires will fit on)

thanks for the feedback

1. VRD or FIG Grills will do that very well
2. id say headlight armor or bluebat is a good idea, just make sure you know what your doin.
3. good idea, amber sucks!
4. fyi stock tires suck, and another recomendation is that you lower the car also that will make the car look 100x better and the wheels 100x better.

5k after 6 months isn't really a lot

and don't ever cut corners you'll only pay for it in the end

after a year i had 18k on my car

Any metallic paint is going to be a PITA to color match
