It's actually thick roofing paper. Not exact, but very close to what I pulled off of it.

Thanks guys.
With the NMW battery box in the rear, I will have to add more air to that shock..lol

Did you box the upper control arms or are they stock unboxed?

I boxed them. The lowers are boxed because the car came with a sway bar.

Every since installing the Motion headers, I've been wanting to make a set of front motor plates like the ones Motion sold.
Going by the pictures in the Motion Vega book, I made an Auto Cad drawing and had the pieces laser cut.

Mike at M&amp;R Coatings in Kodak, Tennessee done them.
He puts on a layer of the standard silver ceramic coating and bakes it on. Then he
applies two coats of the white and bakes them again. Only charges 275.00 and that
included him blasting them.
