Here's my weekend..

Gotta start the day with a big bowl of cereal..

After that I went straight to the front flares that are made from the aluminum I bought from Home Depot.

Did some measuring, cutting, and then tesing..

Driver's side came out great but since I broke the damn drill bit I didn't get to install it. So I went out to get supplies to hook up the new coolant bottle.

Painted the SRT ACR seat belt slots..

The Rear Deck Lid is fleeced up and ready for soaking.

I also painted the Srt Calipers Silver and painted the Rotor Caps Black but I have to get some pics of that cuz I did them at nite.

I'll get some pics of them hopefully tomorrow before it rains.

End of the weekend looked like this..

Now to start up this week..

I modified the stock wiring to take the h3 bulb in the projector fog lights.

I plan on installing the fog lights and flares on thursday cuz it's gonna rain til then..

Oh yea.. This came in today..

I'm gonna paint the center "Srt-4" piece my blue color and install it hopefully tomorrow..

Til then..

excellent work, motivates me to actually get some crap done to my car.

thats the idea guys

dank(r/t) · Post by **dank(r/t)** » Tue Mar 09, 2010 3:03 am

you should just paint the backing plate the blue, and leave the other one silver, i think having it how you want it could be the begining of over doing it.

/opinion

ps, i really like your hood props, it's probs gonna be my next mod, i've been thinking about it for a while, and i think i've got it figured out in my head

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Tue Mar 09, 2010 2:27 pm

dank(r/t):nah.. I don't think so.. We'll see how it comes out and if it is, I can easy repaint it..

Crystal: thanks girlie.. And me too.. I got happy when I saw there site was back up..

smiley: thanxs.. I've decided that I'm gonna cover it with some matching leather once it's ready for it so it'll match the seats..

And here's some shots of the painted rotor caps and calipers.. (crappy phone pics)

great work!!! i like the calipers painted silver alot better... looks nice! also i am excided to see the rear deck come together!

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Tue Mar 09, 2010 6:50 pm

sxxxt: Thanks bro...That means a lot coming for you and I'm the same way.. When I see alot of typing and no pics, I tend to get sleepy

1972: I used these..

The one's I use at work are a hell of alot stronger then that one..
I forgot the day before the build to bring one home so I just used what I had.. It wouldna went alot quicker and smoother if I used longer staples though..

dtjack: Yea I'm trying to reduce the amount of colors on the car til paint booth day...

Damn skittle

I'm loving the work you do. The silver calipers look good.

does teh srt injector cover mount with the same 2 studs as the 2.0?

NeonOn19s · Post by **NeonOn19s** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 1:20 am

very nice man... I figured that you would paint the bottom side so the SRT-4 would be the color... Anyways looks good.

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 2:20 pm

Ntyvirus1: Sorta.. but I believe the srt studs are a lil longer..

Nate: Yea I might do what you and dank suggested..

Here's some lil installed pics.. Sorta..

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Sat Mar 13, 2010 6:29 pm

exactly..

Anywho... I was too tired friday nite to really do much..

So I moved the fog lights and flares to this weekend..

I'm gonna take this weekend lightly.. Need to relax a bit so I didn't fill up the board..

I've mounted the fog lights but need to wait til its dark to make the final adjustments.

Also finished up with the Drivers Side Flare..
No flare..

With Flare..

I'm currently finishing up on the Passenger Side and after that I'll move to the fiberglassing..
