I'll hop over to that Tampa fb page. May be easier to message everyone there.

Actually sounds like all Tampa Stinger owners are in IT.

Looks very nice! Did you have the ceramic coating applied somewhere nearby or did you do it yourself?

I did it this time myself. It is garage kept so it was pretty easy to let it sit for 2 days without introducing it to the elements.
In subsequent years I do plan on getting a professional paint correction and ceramic coating, but I figured I could do it myself on the cheap now and do all the rest of the mods I wanted too.

I've posted a few times about it there including trying to get something going the end of the month.

Just figured I'd visit here again for referencing since I've been making more posts that are mechanical and technical in nature. So to I wanted to put up a little resume of sorts of my previous cars so there can be confidence that this isn't my first time doing mods. More pictures of most of these can be found if you just Google my user name or my previous one "beat92240":
First was build of any relevance was my namesake of a 1994 Honda Del Sol. I did some little stuff like swapped rear brakes from drums to Si disc, air suspension, seats, body kit. Then I blew the D16z6 in a 92 EG hatch that I had. I rebuilt that motor then replaced the D15 that was originally in the Del Sol. This is from myspace days so hard to find pictures, but it was a single cam 1.6 liter that dynoed at 343whp on 93 pump gas:
Next on the list was a MKIV VW .:R32. Nothing major again here. Most intense mods was aftermarket rear LSD, lowered, LOTS of carbon fiber engine bay stuff. Like the Stinger, I felt it was pretty nice looking from the factory:
Around this time I also had a super clean 94 323iS E36. My usual MO of factory M3 front bumper, then just lowering it and keeping it clean:
I also had a 1993 Integra GS. On this one I did a K20z3 with little additional mods like an S2000 gauge cluster. I was one of the first people doing these swaps in a DC chassis so I have a full build link HERE should anyone want to basically rewire a K20 or S2000 gauge cluster.
I'll be back later today to continue the resume with more fun. Feel free to ask any questions or for further clarification on what builds had what other goodies.

That looks great! If I ever had a WRX I'd want it to look just like that. I was never a fan of the super low or stance/stretched stuff. Yours looks so functional it's awesome.
