I get that, but the car is not being wrapped in white... So that wouldn't have done much.

I guess imagine the car coming out like "Almond Cream" like they had on the EF hatches.

According to Eric, the hatch will be done tomorrow. I stopped by today to check it out, it looks pretty good for what it is and I just need to get the lip and she is good to come out finally.

Wrap is complete.

Whole car is done... New door pieces coming in a few days from Bryan still to complete the interior and to get power windows, locks, and mirrors. Sim Coat the interior panels as well.

The 99-00 Si lip was wrapped in black to do the job for now before the Chargespeed lip comes eventually and a few new replacement panels like undented fenders, carbon fiber OEM hood, and spacers for the wheels and bolting up the whole front bumper...

But on with the pics...

The side skirts need to be cleaned up still a bit and the underside of the hood needs to be painted black, and the lip installed up front, but otherwise the car is done for the most part exterior wise except for realigning some panels...

not being an ass or anything but from reading this thread this going to be mainly a track car correct? If so what was the reasoning for putting in power windows? I'm only asking because ive thought many a time of putting power windows in mine but my hatch will also be tracked mainly so i decided against it.

I thought about it for the convience factor and not having to reach across the car to roll the windows up... but I might just make some metal plates and cover the doors where the panels should go and cut a hole in the metal for the window crank.

Took her out and about the town last night for a while... needs a few tweaks here and there in the engine and suspension department, but otherwise it's good to have her back.

Pics coming soon
