Couple more pics of its progress. I know I've been lazy and these go back a little far.

Dual exhaust being welded up by Matt:

POSSSAC headers modification so they actual fit (round 3):

some headwork and manifold porting from the last time I pulled the heads off:

Here's some of my 2nd most recent exterior shots:

And for the finale!

Image


plastidip-ed wheels
Image

painted headlamps (tails were also sprayed with niteshade's)
Image

I also finally installed the SLP headers I found earlier in the year. These things are so amazing!

Everything's finally flush!!!

I still need to wetsand everything that I've painted, but for now this should help stop the paint from peeling in the areas it has started to already. It looks really good from a few feet away but right now you can tell I've painted over some spots. Hopefully after some wetsanding and a good wax and polish it'll look better.

So the updates include:
- 12" front rotors
- replacement plastidipped wheels
- new headers
- painted headlamps
- darkened taillamps
- New GR2 struts with a rear STB
That's all I can think of right now.

I'm planning on getting the windows tinted in the near future, (hopefully before the june meet), and I've also ordered LED bulbs for every light on the car except for the low and high beams. I'm also throwing around the idea of replacing the wheels and tires but that may not happen here.
I'm soo hapy with how the car turned out so far.

I love the license plate. ;) Everything else looks great too. Can't wait for another ride.

Thanks Will! I'm glad you like the plate. It was hard to find one I liked.

Looks awesome Ben! One of my favorite Regals. Can't wait to see it again.

I dig the white out look.

White out looks really great! Usually I'm not a fan of dipped rims, but it worse really well in your case here. Plus the darkened headlights really set the front of the car off nicely.

Thanks a lot guys!

I was hesitant about the white wheels at first, but if I ever do get a set of 18's or 17's they will also be white! I thought about also painting the headlights body colored, but I love the panda look so I'm trying to stick more to a black and white theme.

I think the white lights would soften the car out too much and take away from the aggressive look it has now.

And that's the great thing about dip, if it doesn't look good, rip it off! Although now you're going to have to meticulously clean your wheels all the time haha.
