Did a little painting yesterday to clean up the look of the car. Here's what needed to be painted.

My new grill block, my wiper arms and the lower front window trim pieces. I decided to use the duplicolor bumper paint based on OG VX's success with it. I also bought a filler primer to help fill in the scratches on the sheet aluminum and the trim pieces.

Here's them primed

Painted

And back on the car

I forgot to get more pics of the brackets I made to attach the grill block because it started to rain as I went to put them back on. It's basically just like described in my previous post though.

In other news I just got my wheel straightened today so RE92's will be coming in the near future!

I'll be busy polishing out all of my HX wheels until then though, which is definitely going to take awhile... Hahaha

Edit:Here's a picture of a white EG with polished HX wheels. This picture is basically what inspired me to get HX wheels and want to polish them.
