dude i swear, birds like to drop a duece on white cars. my girlfriend and i both have white cars, and we park by some darker blue and silver cars in our apartments, and there is always crap on them. its like birds see white and think its a big pile of bird poop they want to add to.

but yes, i agree with what was said earlier that simplicity goes a long way. if i could start over with my car, id go with some flat black 16s and some coilovers instead of springs and the VII front end conversion. you live and you learn though, right?

WarTownOZ

well my car is now undrivable.
put the front up on jackstands and have the wheels off.
going to paint my calipers & eventually my drums.
got my grille off and going to re-do that as well while i have the paints out.

Gotcha. Good job on your headlights! One thing that I don't understand is that every pair of headlights I have had, the weather stripping or whatever the rubber material surrounding the headlights always tend to start peeling off.

WarTownOZ

yae I decided to do my headlights at like the same time I did my whole interior & grille.
the weather stripping on mine came off before I even put the headlights in the oven to get them apart. haha.
its not really glued on or anything that I could tell, its just formed to stick along the raised edge of the headlight housing.
i stuck mine back on as good as I could tell and put them back on my car.
had them on for a few months with no problems so far, so I guess I did alright.

just more subtle mods.

repainted my calipers




finally painted my gauge surround.

not too sure about the color scheme.. not my cup of tea, neither is the grille. but the cluster looks way better now!! you should try polishing the paint, it looks really really dull in picture number 3. im not sure if thats just the picture though.

my god....

^ yae the blue didnt dry as dark as I had wanted it to, but cant really change it now it doesnt looks horribly bad to me.
and yae thats just an early picture, I painted it with a few clear coats before putting it back in, just hard to tell in the pictures.


i know people will get a kick out of it.
but to him his own

not really liking the grill too much. you should just do it all black, or maybe pick up a ralliart grill

also you should do your brake calipers yellow instead of blue
