Yes but they are not what you might expect.
I had bought a new dash to replace my broken/cracked existing dash. When the dash got here, I was so excited and anxious to put it in. I started removing the old dash and before I knew it, one thing led to another and my whole interior was out and being re-done! I got sidetracked, from the outside of the car, in a big way. I actually have not done anything more to the outside other than sand all the old paint off the rear bumper.
I am nearly done with the interior and should be back on track with the exterior late next week.
Here is a teaser pic...
If you think it looks good in the pic, you should see it in person!!! This carbon fiber looks AWSOME![This message has been edited by JimmyS (edited 07-25-2009).]

On another note... my scoops should be home tomorrow  That didn't take long

The front fascia was the one done when you were here.
Have your scoops found their way home now?

Looks great !!

Just your typical everyday black but I used a semi gloss clear on it instead of the regular gloss.

Today was a good day. I was like a kid at Christmas time when the UPS driver showed up today.
The box on the left is from Mr. Mikes and the box on the right is from a seller on ebay.
Contents of the box from Mr. Mikes
Top left is a new console saddle. Below that is a 15"X18" piece of black leather-ette to match the console saddle. The big piece is also black leather-ette for the rear firewall cover behind the seats.
This is what was in the box from the ebay seller
Thats a Kicker Compvr CVR8 sub. I likey!
This is what you get after you install these parts
The 15"X18" piece of leather-ette was used to cover the speaker mounting plate.
The rear firewall cover before
No more dingy fuzz
Tomorrow I am back to sanding. The rear bumper, top of the decklid, wing stands and fuel door and insert are ready for primer. I need to sand the underside of the decklid and rear wing then all can be primered. I will primer these parts on Saturday and paint them on Monday.

Well I had this dark cloud hanging over my head yesterday. Literally! It rained here all day so I didn't get much accomplished as far as sanding goes.
Today however was another day and I am almost done with all the sanding. Primer will spray tomorrow.

Wow!
That's a LOT of BLACK leather!
Maybe you could finish off the whole look you're after with some of this stuff:

Pretty sure Mr. Mike doesn't sell this....[This message has been edited by randye (edited 08-01-2009).]

I am getting up early tomorrow and shooting them in the morning. They should be set up well enough to mount them on Friday morning a few min's before I leave for the Daytona Show. Talking about doing things last min.
