just put duct tape over it. No one'll notice. Silver's sliver, right?

Actually.. someone on here posted pics of the "jdm-style grille strip painting" with just duct tape on the strip on a sunlight silver car.. it's a seriously good match :P
 
my sundance had the front bumper duct taped on, we tore through all the reinforcement when installing the FMIC we couldnt get the bumper on, black duct tape FTW, the car was so dirty it blended right in.
 
they made turbo Sundances...

i miss my non-turbo one...

Stock bulb is back in on DS.....this is gonna drive me nuts until I buy a replacement or swap the PS.(ughdance)

reynoldsrobbie - Did you paint your bumper and side markers yet? Haven't had time to comment but when I did mine I applied three light coats followed by a coat of clear. Keeps them from looking dull (from what I have read). Post up pics when you have it done.

havent done it yet. I will follow your advise though. Thanks!
 
reynolds - I'd probably do about 2-4 very light coats of the vht, followed by a few coats of clear. That will darken the lenses significantly, but still allow them to be a little orange.

redpr5 - like bala, i'm running the nonfouler 1.5 yrs and no cel, works great. The hardest thing about using the nonfouler is drilling out the one piece so that the O2 sensor fits in, and even that is pretty easy.

I've got the filled stock mounts from NSN front and both sides and absolutely love them. Much less engine movement but hardly any increased vibration. When I change out my clutch this spring, I want to do the rear mount right away as I'm sure that one's looking a little worse for wear.

haha, seeing as you're getting in to things pretty deep with your P5, i have no doubts you'd do an excellent job on the swap :) you're a far braver man (?) than i, lol if i had the time off for the trip, not to mention the fact that she's snugly tucked in for the remainder of winter, i'd take you up on that.

here's a thought though... you've been to ontario and quebec many times. why not broaden your horizons and see the rest of canada? specifically, the best province in the country? :p
