Got the stuff back from the paint shop (holy **** they are fast!). The color seems to match pretty damn well. Wont know till the rest of the car gets washed. Some panels still need some adjustment and the fender liners need to be put in. Have to get down to Ryan again so he can put the bumper clips on.

Thanks guys! Ryan @ Area1320 did a fabulous job with the bumper yesterday. The one intercooler pipe needed to be shortened a little bit but otherwise there werent any other issues.

The fenders and bumper are now off the car and at the body shop for paint. They should be back on this weekend.

The fenders went on today, tomorrow the wagon gets taken to Area1320 to get the front bumper cut for the FMIC.

This weekend a bunch of things are going to happen. The wagon is getting cleaned inside and out, claybared, lowered a little more, realigned, sway bars redone to get rid of the clunking, PR coilover repreloaded, and the new fenders and bumper are going on (unpainted). I have the new bumpers and fender, Ryan @ Area1320 is going to put them on and cut the bumper to fit for the FMIC. This should be a productive weekend/week since I took off of work.

Took the front bumper off today to see exactly what is messed up. The FMIC bracket was mangled to hell, I got it as straight as I could. Also the brackets on the bottom of the intercooler needed some straightening. All in all its back on pretty straight. The bumper is toast along with the fender liner on the passenger side. The passenger side fender and door recieved some light scratches, and I have a very small coolant leak.

The fender bolts were rusted to hell, luckily the bumper was trashed so I used a hack saw to cut the corner of the bumper so I could get it off.

ordered as set of the brackets CarbonIS has.
