Front and rear bumpers are sun faded. I'd remove them first. Maybe some side skirts and the stock spoiler. Car has a bunch of door dings and generally imperfect stock paint. I just want something shiney and the same color.

Yea it's stripped I guess, I figured new crush washers would stop it and I tried that a few times. Slowed it down a lot but didn't stop it.

I have to pull the motor to tap it though right? I figure I might start buying parts for a basic build to make less future down time heh

for that you would have to get your own paint tinted to match. shit aint cheap either. try roughly 1 quart of all for stages (primer, base, mid/pearl, clear) @ at least $50 a quart plus add reducer, sandpaper, & hardener. now i know why paint/body guys charge an arm and a leg
