Cool!

:D

ROFL, just like me, painting in the garage ;) I have guards red overspray, ice green metalic overspray, and now grand prix white overspray over everything we store in the garage ;)

Nice! I really like that color.

What color is that or is it a primer of some sort?

Where did you buy your bumpers from?

It is Mexico blue, There is just a heavy fog in there because he was putting on the clear.

Very cool, I love that color!!!

That rear bumper is sweet, do you modifiy the orginal bumper?

I got the rear bumper from rennsport (?). It was just a regular yellowbird bumper that we modified to be like the original RUF bumper by putting in the slots and rear reflectors. We also finished the exhaust cut outs.

Between the mods and trying to get this to fit (it was almost a half an inch too wide on both sides and the wheel arch was way off) we have over 20hrs int thr rear bumper. I probably could have bought a real RUF bumper! Oh well live and learn.

Did you drill these yourself? :D

Yes, we cut them out with a die grinder and then used a small file to clean it up.

Awesome... I think I may do that to mine. ;) We could be twins... except my cab is slate blue. heh heh heh

What diameter did you use for the cut?

I don't recall but I will be working on the car again on sunday and will find out for you.

Paint looks great.

I hope you cleaned & masked off that oil cooler.

A little elbow grease will clean the oil cooler right up...experience embarassing me again.

I'm thinking you ended up with some smirf-blue hair at the end of that project.
