Jazz Blue!
Painted the back of the hood and fenders today (1/26/05). This let me get the feel for painting since it is my 1st car. In a few days I will flip over the hood and then paint the rest of the car.

Aspire Suspension
Painted the aspire axle and spindes. I used semi gloss rustoleum and thinned it to shoot in a spray gun.

Rear Suspension
The rear suspension is in. I'm using an aspire rear beam with KYB GR2 struts and FMS lowering springs. Note that I missed the front edge of the bumper cover when I painted. The way I had them position while painting I missed the edges with the gun, I'll touch that up later.

Front Suspension
Front aspire spindles installed with KYB GR2 struts and FMS lowering springs.

Aspire and Festiva rotors
Here is the difference of the 2 rotors. Festiva on the left and the aspire on the right.
