No no, dont give it to jen, give it to me!

Slap it on if you want. It would only look tacky if it's not done good.

Hmm. This is a tough call. Should you give to Jen & Chris or put it on your car? Either way you decide, it will look great.

awesome! thanks for the input. it will be a while before i can even think about it though.

pookie has already cost us a BUTTLOAD of money just in the past year:
timing belt disaster = new head, replace timing belt and components
new(ish) rims and new tires
new clutch and flywheel from ECS tuning
GIAC chip

the miata is still under construction and the celica needs a couple things so pookie will have to stop being such a money whore for now and take a back seat for the time being. one of the guys at work was supposed to get that bumper primered this weekend though so whatever. it will stay at work either red or primer colored until we can get around to it.


jsw9620, please let me know how difficult of a task it was, and do share some pics if you can
