It looking good, are you planning to race this in the EVO class. Did you plastic coat the frame or paint it I am planning to send away mine for plastic coating. Just waiting to get my subframe back from the blasters not sure what the finish is like hopefully the alloy look will be ok if not will plastic coat it as well.
