Yeah sucks a lot about the paint, I got a quote a few weeks back 2Gs so I have to save up for that. But what kind of maintenance are you thinking I should do?

We will be waiting.
In for updates
Same here!
I agree with R3dline, not all cars can rock that color, but looks great on that hatch. Seems you're off to a great start. Welcome, and keep us updated 
jezek seems to have lost some of his gay the last few years.

Another update I relocated my licence plate and copied another guys DIY, link below:

I only took before and after photos but basically I drilled holes in L brackets, drilled holes in my bumper and connected them with the nuts and bolts I bought. It was a pretty easy job. The drill bit was 7/16ths and the bolts were M8 x16. The only downfall was the coldness.. made my job slower cause I couldn't feel where everything was.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
oh also I sprayed a Coat & Protect spray on the other side of my plate to prevent it from rusting as it is exposed. I also sprayed the brackets, nuts and bolts.
next up, painting these babies!
but unfortunately I have to go to work. So until next time!

UPDATE!!!!
Before:
First Coat:
Fourth and Final coat:
Comparison of left and right:
This nook was so hard to get an even coat(there is a little running tried to fix it before it dried, not too noticeable)
FIN:
The left one looks darker only because a light burnt out right above it.. but did the exact same for both 4 coats
Took me a whole can of SEM Color coat flexible coating for those two panels. So I got to pick up at least 2 more cans to do the rest of my panels and interior.
