Nice, do you have a heated garage? How was the cure time? Really need to do this but was waiting for warmer weather. Mine will probably be gold though.

Quote me now while I'm feeling good about it.  I've decided a WRX will be the vehicle that replaces the Jeep.  I can't see paying Evo prices or justifying purchasing a halfassed/beat to death example for the same asinine amount of money.  For an affordable, point to point, all-weather capable performance car, a wagon fits the bill.  A swapped wagon, even better.

i do have a heated garage, i started a fire in the burner and had the salamander going....it didnt take horribly long to dry but i had to do 2 wheels at a time, i put 2 wheels next to the fire so do half an hour intervals between each coach should give it enough time...

def get the dupli-color wheel paint from napa if your aerosoling it, they have been holding up with the salt too so i am really happy

next, bake those lights and paint.
or find used edms.  ha.
I do miss my bugeye at times (maybe cause it would have paid off but instead I now have a car payment for the next couple years). 

looks good.    I still have, cf zerosport vents and my wrx hood (which you dont need but..) sti hoodscoop, and if you decide to cut up your grill, still have mine, with black stars.  Not trying to make a for sale thread.   just listing what i have left from bugeye.
oh, and an old c-west? replica spoiler that I would be happy to get out of my closet. that thing, I would just give away.

 what you need.  (maybe what i want lol) oem lip or sti v2 lip, yummm @v2, oem rear and if you could find egr sideskirts.

also, just a helper from me, I find it easier to just modify your first post with pics of what you have done so the pics dont get lost in the thread.  then bump your thread letting us know what you have done to make your awesome bugeye, even more awesome
