So, my project is like 85% complete, going to do some touch up on it tomorrow, and then takes some pics of EVERYTHING I've done, not just the engine cover. Hopefully, I'll have some time tomorrow. It's been a hectic week, being that I had to repaint my whole room/attic again lol. But, I still managed to find some time for my GTS. So look out here tomorrow for pics.

Just a quick question. I recently painted my engine cover, and it looks really good. But there was a problem. I guess i did a terrible job masking the spots i didnt wanna paint. Anyways, just wondering if anyone knows a good way to get the paint off the spots i didnt want painted? Can i just use paint thinners on the plastic? Help please...

Just as I promised, here are the pics of the newly modified engine cover, spark plug cover, and fuse cover, although you cant really make out the color of the fuse cover, it is the same as the engine cover. a little touch up still needs to be done, but it looks pretty good as it is now =] also posted in lancer grills is my newly blacked out grill so that out to =]
