Driving around in primer is not cool Calvin. Especially when half the rednecks here do it already.

The FMIC is the Kinetic kit, my appologies, its pretty dirty.

Mr. Steele, you couldn't pay me enough to have to go through all that work again. Ask me in a week or so though,lol.

 I had to go back to work so Tsi play time is short for a little bit but the paint looks even better in real light.  I'm amazed at the gloss and I still haven't wet sanded and polished it yet.  I'm sure glad I took the time to do the inner doors, inner hatch, antenna removal, rear wiper removal and lock cylinder removal.  Maaco can eat a dick.


Here are some more pics as the car gets pieced together. .....

Thanks. The Tux look is definately one of my favorites. Lately my least favorite thing is the cost of the sideskirt clips from Satan. $7.22 each :evil:
