well, i'm still short the teamfc3s front bumper lip that i want, but i got the other stuff taken off/out and the new stuff put back on. my only concern is that the paint will chip off; it didn't seem to be sticking all that well and some peeled off when i pulled off the painter's tape. oh well, i'll just have to let it dry good b/f i drive it next.



i also found my oil-p wire plug, and put it back on the sensor, and so now i know again that i'm running at a good solid 45 psi, i can drive with a clear mind.



here is the old front end:

painted it myself, the tape was called "painter's tape", that blue stuff that is like masking tape but doesn't leave behind a sticky goo

It's funny how the cleaning up of your front bumper gives the FC a different look.



good job
