Back from the bodyshop

Had the hatch, hood, hatch lock and antenna shaved and the moldings painted on my 1991 NX2000. The fog lights will be going back in as soon as I find a replacement driver side fog light.

damn, u got a lot of body work done, how much did that all run you?

Wow that was a lot of work. How do you like your ra1s?

HkSBlueBird4u, I do like the VW wheels a bit better and originally planned to just get them for auto-x but these were in better condition than my stock rims so I switched.

Witt19, including strut towers it was $4800 Canadian.

nizzan4u2nv, I really liked the RA1s. They had fairly consistent grip right up until they corded and they seemed to last longer than the Kumhos others were running. After driving one auto-x event on Azenis I already miss them.

That is one clean looking NX. And the mesh rims don't look bad on there at all. I like it a lot.
