A Smiths fan and a GP owner, obviously a man of impeccable taste.

Yes , I LOVE the Smiths, , the Cure, Joy Division, Bauhaus (Peter Murphy) and Depeche Mode, funny I went to a club is San Jose called Blanks that played all my favorites but I think most of the people there enjoying the music were in pampers when this music was on Live 105 or KROQ. I got to see the Smiths in summer of 83 pre break up. (I was still in elementry school too), also one of NewOrders first US show after Ian Curtis passed away. In San Bernardino at the US Festival a show put on by Steve Jobs of Apple. Sorry for off-topic.

I will post alot of pics. Shop sent me these pics, since I am out of town right now but when I get back I'll post'em. OEM BASF glasurit paint was used which did bring price up a bit, but was mitigated by bumper repair paid by insurance. In front, the bumpers lower lip was left black cause that thing scrapes daily, but the black aero grill surrounding was painted. The rear arches/valance and boot handle were also done in Thunder blue. I will let you know what it would of cost.

I ordered a M7 scoop too but I'm going to paint it chili red and place the blk mini sticker on the scoop. Anything to help reduce intercooler temps
