Pic of my new DG Lip now i have the MSP one also so i can change
it up i couldnt settle on one so i got both, also got my wedge
seat brackets that day too. Got bored at work so i decided to
swap my Tokico springs out for my new Eibach ones, and clean the
struts while i was at it.

More parts D1 extended lugs and AAC bumper sag fix sadly the
bumper brackets didnt work so i sold them. Also i didnt like the
way my VC came out so i bought me a sand blaster and a powder
coater and went to work, had some snags and some trial and
error, but we figured it out. In the end im happy with the final
results, heres some before and after pics. Next time im gonna
sand blast alot of other parts like my alternator, starter,
strut bar brackets, and all my suspension braces, calipers along
with my rims.

Next friday im driving up to dallas to meet a friend to get some
more parts to finish off my interior MSP, dash, speedo, center
console, carpet, and fog lights. Now that i have everything and
will have a little more free time i should have my car back on
the road hopefully w/in the next 2 months still gotta get the
machine work done on the motor, install cams and adj gears, and
a few other good stuff. While im waiting on that i should be
able to get the car painted in the next few weeks, then install
all interior. Powder coat all my braces then install then all
thats left is to install the motor and im good to go.
