Drove it to work on this perfect day in Colorado. Mostly so I can get gas before driving with the local PCA group this weekend through the continental divide area.

Good old 8's up front and 10's in the rear. NOT hollow....weight felt like the 18" turbos that came with the car...

While I'm getting some front end work done I "might" as well do a little tweaking to the rear also. I mean, you'd be crazy not to!

WIP in progress on my front bumper. I'm not doing this as such, just paying for it top be done. The paint on the bumper was crack and it was a 'while I was at it' thing to get rid of the bumperette holes even though I make bumperette delete plugs.

IMO Euro bumper cover > filled bumperette holes > bumperette delete plus > painted bumperettes > bumperettes

Also getting a poor repair of a scratch on the passenger side rear fender repaired and repainted, the rear bumpercover repainted for a poor paint match and the ducktail painted as well as a turbo s deck repaired and repainted for a few nicks and scratches and a few small hairline cracks.

While doing the bumperette delete, consider doing the rear as well. It is a bit more work as you have to remove the metal brackets underneath the rubber from the metal bumper. Then, you can fashion something like this to cover the holes.
