zippy got a face lift today 
well actually a face drop lol... i was digging thru some old parts i had and i found a chin spoiler/ air dam thing from a 1986 toyota MR-2 parts car... it fits awesome all i had to do was center it up (all 4 center holes line up PERFECT) and then bend the outer edges out a bit cause its a tiny bit smaller than the festiva... then i drilled some holes and put some zap straps/ zip ties in to hold it there, then chop off the over hang on the ends cause the thing is to long... now your done i also FINALY found some VHT nite shade paint to do the rest of my lights... (in canada its hard to find...) i re-did my turn signals and then did the corner markers... only a light coat cause i dont want to get hassel from the cops... i know it looks dark in the pics but its not that dark in real life... here are some pics...
my plan when i first put it on there was to paint it black cause i didnt have any color match paint... so it looked like this for a day...
then i found this bottle of spray paint my dad has held on to for about 10 zillion years... i didnt even think it had air still left in it to spray... but sure as heck it worked... i tested it out and it looked to be a perfect match look how old this thing is...
now that my bumper is lower i dont think the IC loks very good cause there is a huge space from the bottom of the intercooler to the bottom of the lip... the stock part of the bumper covers about 3 rows of intercooler, so i was thinking i could chop off more bumper to expose more intercooler... but i cant decide how to chop it... what one do you think looks better?
