    Looks good! Will you be able to shine up the paint better, like with a random orbital polisher and compound?

    I guess I never really noticed, but isn't your exhaust bolt-on? Why is it so short lol, no wonder it melts your bumper.

    I haven't clear coated it yet, that's just the paint it'll look really good once I'm done. And yeah it's a bolt on, but it's a bolt on for the JDM car, which has a different rear.

    I thought you were getting deported to Mexico for being a scammer terrorist?

    That's what I figured, the IS is the same way with the JDM exhaust/bumper being shorter.
    And you think a spray can clear coat will look better? I don't think that's it, I think the gloss just has a little bit of unevenness to it from overspray... though you certainly are much better at spray painting than I am.

    Looks good Mack, that's the smallest sig you've ever had lol (it was a bit too large before you made it smaller). Are the tail lights tinted now? the white parts look darker.
