fake and gay. its sooooo photoshoped! made it in 3d studio max! FAKE!!!! good job man looks great, color looks almost a little lighter than the cars color, but could be the flash.
It does look a little lighter, although I won't truely know until I see it in natural light. The light in the pics was from me holding a 100w shop drop light since the flash really screwed up the pics lighting. I think it may be lighter due to the primer being lighter than what the body was painted with.
wowww, I would of been pissed when that thing got hit, it was so clean. But it's great you kept going. Someone wrote off my sl500 and the cops put me at fault, it was rhd too. So I ended up going back to supra, 91 jza70 r edition from my first car a 87 turbo targa and I definately gotta say 1jz is so much funner.
Trust me, I was furious. The indents from my knuckles are still in the headliner of my Supra. It's come a long way and it's far from done.
Update for today, I cut off the rear wing thing on my spark plug valley cover and did some mocking up of the cover with spacers. Looks like I need 1/2" spacers to get the right look. I'll pick those up along with some longer bolts in the morning. I decided since I have all this leftover color matching paint that I'm going to clean up a little more of my engine bay and paint the spark plug valley cover, the cam gear cover, the radiator hold down brackets, and all the bolts that hold those parts down. It should be a pretty good look when done.

i think your just weak my friend?!? wussy lol
punch somthing really hard next time like the engine block, or take off the head and hand it from the roof and use it as a punching bag. thats what i do everyday when i wake up. Take a good workout punching the 7m head
I picked up some new longer hex head screws to hold down my spark plug valley cover, along with some longer stainless steel inserts. The inserts are slightly smaller than the ones that were in the cover so I had to super glue then JB Weld them in place. I got 1 insert that wasn't the right length so I'm swapping it tomorrow morning and putting in the final 2 inserts when I get home. Here's a mock-up view of the modified cover in place at it's new height and without the rear wing thing. Also, here's the hardware that goes with it. The 2 large bolts are for the radiator hold down brackets which are also going to be painted.
The bling will come once the weather clears up and warms up enough for me to paint outside after I get off work or at work for that matter.
I primed and painted everything. The plastic parts (i.e. the spark plug valley cover and the cam gear cover) got a special primer that's clear while the hardware and radiator hold down brackets got a white primer. Here's the result after a couple coats of paint. I think I may have to sand down and repaint the cam gear cover on the top since I have a deep scratch that I didn't notice before.
lol now with the valley cover on you can lie to people and say "OH ITS STOCK" lol. just say you did alot of painting, thats why it looks so good.

LOL Trevor. I am repainting the cam gear cover because I have to sand out the scratches. It's not easy painting with paint that has a ton of metal flake in it, especially from a rattle can.
Thanks Gord. I'll put the parts on the car when the paint drys (aka when I get home from work tonight). I'm not in flash chat at 2AM because I have to be up for work at 8AM. I'll be on tonight around 8PM.

The spark plug valley cover is installed and I bolted down the radiator hold down brackets and put in place the cam gear cover to show the end result. I'll sand down and repaint the cam gear cover in the next couple days, after the paint has had more time to cure (still too soft right now).
