now there's only the front and rear bumpers left, if you notice at the pics the guy is still preparing the bumpers the rest of the car is painted, now they will let it sit a couple of days and after they sand it again with finest sandpaper and after they will buff it and polish it. The guy at shop applied 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of clear.

really nice progress so far - can't wait to see what else you add to it and how it looks in its 'finished' state. But so far - WOW! :)

thanks, well lots of stuff are pending:

1. install the nismo red stitch door panels
2. install the nismo red ring start button
3. install the nismo steering wheel with flat bottom
4. install the nismo e-brake
5. install the new horns
6. install the new hood opener cable (mine was broken)
7. install the front shocks
8. install the fender liners
9. install the nismo headers
10. repaint the engine cover nismo red
11. i got a KPH cluster so i have to dissasemble the nismo cluster to swap the covers but scares me to remove the needles
12. also have the nismo 3 gunmetal rings but also scares me to remove the covers they are very hard

Yeah but...still - so far it's looking really nice man. I noticed you have a 2003 RSX in your signature - is that a Type-S and how do you like it?

Hey Bro the RSX is the 2003 Type S of course has been with me since 2009 I have build it very tastefully even i was going to do a Frankenstein K24 swap (already built the engine) but the Z appeared so I don't see the point of doing all the hassle of the swap having now a weekend warrior, the RSX is my daily driver here are some pics. it has the very rare ADVAN AVS Wheels that came from the R33 Skyline GTR.

The RSX is an amazing car, very reliable and fast but you know we never satisfied and we look for something bigger

the ironies of life:

RSX = dark car, clear wheels
370z = clear car, dark wheels

Damn Son, you’re KILLING IT !!
Good job

update: The car is painted and is going to receive the final buffing ultra fine sanding and polish during the week. Anyways there are some parts on the front (grill) and rear bumper (diffuser) that need to be painted black so the rescue continues...
