Got bored/build thread.....
Well I bought this for my wife about a week ago and I started looking for things to do......
First thing was to paint the grill. Easy mod that to me made a very big difference as far as the look of the front end.
Before
Painting
End result
Also added a set of 55W 6000K HID's and ordered the eye lid LED's and fog light HID kit.
Clear markers are the next thing and we will see what comes up after that.

..... No rattle can, I sprayed it with my HPLV gun so it should last. By the way, love the FB link, I build AR's.....
Cali, do you have nothing better to do than try to get your post count up by posting stupid sh*t?

technically HVLP doesnt mean automotive paint w hardener, but Im hoping thats the case. It makes a huge difference when u paint and bake the parts vs. just spraying. either way looks good, do the inside of the lights and the rest of the chrome trim for the tuxedo look......

Well, I got everything put on today. Next thing on the list will be HID fog lights. Should have them next week.
Dont really have any pictures of the x-pipe install, I was working alone and didnt have time to take pictures. The car sounds great though. Its hard to explain the sound, its nothing like the videos online. The best way I can put it would be kinda exotic.
Side markers fit very well, there is little to no gap.
Eye lid LED's
Oh, and for all the Bob Baker haters, I took the frame off Now I have to make something to replace it so it will look better. I get to ditch the front plate in 15 days....
