I think it looks super clean the way it is, good job! What coils are you running? Thanks bro. Its got a full set of KSport coilovers. Im surprised as low as the front is, it doesnt rub at all. They ride very good. |

Of course it rides good, its one of, if not the best suspension kits on the market for a FoFo!

Yes Sir, heres an update for the Foci. Ive redone the grille to match the vehicle color. It was painted in a gloss black, but due to all the driving, the paint has been slowly chipping away. I wrapped the outer part of the grille using some of the matte black wrap that i have for the Eg. It looked good but the inner part still showed a few paint chips on it; not acceptable for the show and tell this weekend. So heres the pics of before/after: Grille w/matte black wrap around the outer edge:  Grille w/wrap off, big difference:  Close up of chipping paint:  Aircraft remover to the rescue!!! Grille back to its original state:  Primered and ready for paint:  Paint laid down:  Grille finished w/a coat of protective layering on top:  Foci w/out grille:  Foci w/grille:   |

Thats looks much better!
Aircraft remover................looks like some hard core stuff.
How long did it take you to do the grill, if its not too long then maybe I will color mine this week.
Does anyone know where to get color matching paint for my car (white suede)?

Did you bake your headlights and paint them or did you buy the ones that are already done?

Does anyone know where to get color matching paint for my car (white suede)? Thanks. Yeah that aircraft remover will definitely do the job everytime. Total, it probably took me about 2 hours; thats with removing paint, primer, new paint and drying time between coats. And watching over the lil one trying to go potty. We can do it in an evening or afternoon. Also, checkers/o'reilly has the color matching paint. Thats where I bought the one for the grille. |
