[joe sobo]

wow, those five stars' are old skool
what, you only have 3 of them?

 

[badabing33a]

yea the guy i bought it from put it in a ditch a while ago and it bent the one wheel (and the crossmember i replaced) so i got the car with three good ones and one bent one.

 

[joe sobo]

then you need to pick up a set of 4 matching ones. it will look much better

 

[badabing33a]

yea i was planning it after a few performance mods.

What are the yellow stickers in the fog lights holes? Looks tacky.

Hey man looks nice. I think it would look a lot better once you got matching rims. Now all you need is to tint those windows some. Great job.

 

[datrip]

Turned out very nice.

 

[420aNEWB]

kinda look like slipstreams

 

[fwdmaster]

looks good

 

[badabing33a]

thanks every one. and those are speedway stickers. they make alot of stuff for dirt cars. had to put em on . and yes they are american racing wheels. i dont want to buy 4 new ones unless they are different. but i would like to buy ONE of them so they all match. if i bought 4 id just get different wheels.

 

[4seaer]

looks good,except that one wheel?

 

[albo_bizak]

looks good, but drop it an inch or so and it would look amazing.

Did you use VHT Nightshades to do the headlights?

 

[badabing33a]

no i couldnt find any so i was told to use regular dupi-color spray paint. worked perfectly. i sanded them down first with fine sand paper. then sprayed the black. then i used a clear coat. turned out nice.

 

[InfiniteGSX]

I would have used Niteshade... You should call some local performance places, mainly muscle places... I was about to buy online when I found out a local place carried it, now my headlights and tail lights look insane!

 

[endlessMyk]

I have to agree with going with Niteshades.
Plus, you're in PA... cops hate that stuff here. I got pulled over for my old Tailights (blacked out with niteshades) he told me i had to remove my covers, so i just argued that was my tailights and i don't have covers. He went back, tried to pull one off, couldn't, came back up and told me to have a nice day. I don't think you can get away with that on the headlights. How much light shines through those? Truthfully, I would have left the headlights the way they were. They looked to be in good shape. I wouldn't have painted the grill insert either.

Also, I would agree that even buying one wheel would have been better than using some dupli-color on mismatched wheels. Granted, the driver side looks good... but there's no nice way to say this, just kinda looks like you wasted your time, that's all.

Umm, why in the world would you do that?

 

[PieEyedPiper]

Wheels are much improved. Headlights? Not so much.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Looks nice.. Clean 1g with blackouts...Nice

 

[badabing33a]

light shines through pretty easily. the only light sprayed over is the little white one on each. (FYI i have popups so the actual headlights arent sprayed) But yea those little white lights still shine through.

 

[sik4g63]

Still looks nice bro. Did ya ever get your header yet?
