I knew what you meant. I was just giving you a hard time.
In the US, we have the similar expression: "Hitting the nail on the head."

I always love to see updates on your ride dude! I don't care what anyone says about the spoiler i like it think it looks good and is functional, also love the harness bar was thinking of getting the same one.


Also i see you ended up going with some quick disconnects for the bumper, any reason you went that route? Either way looks good i have done that on a couple of cars due to how low they were and cause i was always working on them lol

Yes. I don't know if I covered that a few pages back or not.

There are a few reasons for this, but let me start by stating that if you convert the front of your car to an evo OEM or aftermarket bumper, buy OEM metal fenders. Seibon and VIS quality is poor and you can end up with problems later on.

When the body shop installed everything, they neglected to use Evo snap brackes for the fenders/bumper. As a result, the bumper did not fit flush. So they opted to shave both the backet AND the bumper attach points down. This caused a number of issues that ultimately lead me to install the quick release brackets.

I'm debating if I should leave them polished to accent the headlights, or paint them flat black to match the wheels. It's kind of a toss up.

I would do them in black or paint match them blue.

This is currently being addressed by Rob the primary Admin and one of the site owners. I can move the core moderators into a SUPER security group which will provide all of the functions they need this weekend. I just need to run it by Rob or Dino first.
