    The Not So Rapid Red Project

    I haven't posted in a long time so here's an updated exterior shot with the new wheels and tires. FenFab Hot Side Charge Pipe coming next week so new engine bay pics will be coming soon.

    ST hitch/receiver cover wanted

    Should just be able to sand it smooth and use a little filler, like a lot of people have done with their trim when they do the paint match thing. I'm just going to paint it with a gloss black paint, then polish it and hope for the best. It should look pretty close, I hope :)

    ST hitch/receiver cover wanted

    Mine had a big "dimple" on the exposed side where the square is for the receiver so I had to fill that in. Then when I sanded and primed and sanded again, I realized how uneven it was.

    ST hitch/receiver cover wanted

    I just bought it as well. I figured after everything I spent on my headlights, this was nothing, lol. I'm doing a little "body work" to it to try and make it as smooth as possible to more closely match the gloss black trim.

    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    I waited too long, they took away a bunch of finish options.

    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    Did you wrap the hitch cover? I like the look of the gloss much better than the textured, but I'd be concerned it could end up looking like the B pillars.

    ST - Storm Trooper Build

    LOL, that was you with the high ethanol. I got an email from Adam saying everything looked good, then a text saying the ethanol was too high and I should dial it back. I haven't even loaded my e50 tune yet, so I was a little confused. He replied he had me confused with someone else :)

    I couldn't resist getting these matching tumblers for the black and red ST. It's a great organization doing really good work and the tumblers will come in handy with all the Diet Coke I drink.

    I graduated from HS in '75. The Bloomington guys at VoTech always called me a cake eater too, until they realized I drove a van and they could hitch a ride back to school and smoke funny things on the way :)

    I think mine is Prismatic Powders too, PSS-2266. I just noticed you're in Shakopee, I grew up in Edina and moved to Dallas in 2000.

    I think so too, it's too bad the glare of the lens doesn't allow you to see it more clearly but they do look damn good, thank you.

    I didn't do the headlights myself, I had Bullseye Custom Autos do them, it's what they do. He posted in here under MrBoom5_0 if you want to contact him or go to his website for BCA.

    I don't actually know the brand, but the color is Bellrose Red. I used a local place called Unit F14. I actually had FenFab buy some of it also so they can color match whatever parts they do for me to what I had done locally.

    I didn't do my headlights, my wallet did :)

    Thanks man, just trying to make it mine, lol. I wish I had the skills to install that vent gauge you put in for ethanol content.

    Had a little eye work done on the ST this week courtesy of Bullseye Custom Autos. Blacked out all the chrome on the headlights and fog lamps and added a little Rapid Red Accent in the headlights, along with RGB DRL's.

    ST - Storm Trooper Build

    You need the same color "balancing" piece I do, the right side fenfab charge pipe, lol. I wish he would have done that before the coolant tank.

    ST - Storm Trooper Build

    Did you do this to avoid drilling the right side aFe intake tube for the WOT hose on the UPR? It seems the only place to put that hole is front/top and I really don't want to drill a hole there.
