    haven't updated in a while, but i have done a few things lately.

    i decided to do my engine bay in a dark red/smoke/ black theme and started on it a couple weeks ago. painted a spare valve cover nevin gave me (thanks again) still need to install it. painted my K&N CAI red (was blue) and painted some other misc stuff.

    here is before..

    and for the outside, i finally did the evo-esque grill, and a DIY lip that i have been wanting to do for a while. I also got some black marker lights. I have some color matched shorty eyelines on the way.

    the lip cost me 20$ and about 30 min of my time, and although its not perfect, i am very satisfied with it. specially for almost no $$$.

    before.
