I wish. Just a college kid working 40 hours a week to pay for tuition and this car.

Your car is quickly becoming one of my favorites on the forum. Your attention to detail and personal tastes are quite nice. I'm not even a huge fan of the JDM front, but seeing what you've done so far makes me excited to see it.
I really can't wait for the S2k cluster to be installed. :drool:

Thank you! I really appreciate it. I really like constructive feedback, whether it be positive or negative :) I know the jdm front isn't for everyone, but as soon as I got on this forum (years ago) I knew I was going to have one. Me neither! I can't wait to get it and make a bezel for it.

It's possible if you have your priorities in order. I worked three jobs and was a full-time college student and did fine. Time management skills FTW.

Exactly like Joe said. It's a lot of work to stay a top of things, but it's really rewarding.
I wouldn't be able to do 3 jobs in school. That's impressive.

Edit: I end up bringing my school books and homework to work and working on them on my lunches and breaks to keep me ahead.

I'd rather spend the money and do it properly. No offense at all, but I'm not really a fan of ghetto fixes. Even the depowered rack will be replaced with a manual rack at somepoint.

Well I got a call yesterday as I was leaving school for work saying that my wing was complete and ready to be picked up. I couldn't pick it up until after class today.
This is what the damage looked like around all the corners of the wing. On top of this there was pitting in some spots as well as other small imperfections.

I told them I wanted it absolutely perfect and to do whatever it took to get it like new. Needless to say, they did it.

I am very, very impressed with their work. They guarantee everything for life as well. I have officially found the body shop who will be doing all the body work and painting.:)

Also, from this point forward I will be trying my best to step up my photography and will do my best to take better pictures, no more cell phone pictures. I feel terrible for any photographers looking at this build :lol:
