Well, maybe not a little Trust, but with the black paint you can hardly tell its there.

So, I just got the car back from the Toyota body shop with a fresh paint job and wow, they did a great job. I decided to take a couple of pics as I finished assembling the front end. Ignore the rigged up intake system - thats just there until the motor's broken in enough to run the turbo.

Stealth (not that the hood andbumper wont draw attention)!

All together -

The paint guys goofed on the hood spoiler, but we decided we like it better this way:

You can just barely see the bling from outside. Kinda scary how close it is to the hood.

Now the only question is which spoiler to use. Still have the stock wing w/ center post. Also have the 205 wing without lifter blocks (wife says no to the lifters). But I'm almost leaning towards no spoiler - its just so sexy.....
