So I got my exhaust installed, redid my grill and smoked my head/taillights.

Car sounds like a damn v8. Sucks when I see cops but other than that I love the way it sounds.

I love the way my car is starting to look, but my tranny is going out again.

I guess thats what I get for going with a used tranny instead of doing the rebuild.

Oh well..I guess I dont have anything else to really spend money on anyways.

Can you see at night?

rivcal4life

They wont let me join until I do this:






Oh and yeah I can see perfectly.

I have some xenon-charged bulbs that light up great through the spray. The stuff is made for cars so its not as thick as normal paint.

tbone55

Looks good! Where did you get that grill?

rivcal4life

Made it.

I drilled every single one of those holes.

Saijin_Naib

Dude, very, very sleek.
Not my style, but you've done an amazing job. Everything works together.
Now get that car posing on some nicer back-drops!

Rio Z Lander

im happy to see you car looking so sick. my car has i think like 2 pounds of dust on it i need to was off

rivcal4life

Thanks dude. Yeah my car is reallly dirty right now because of the ash constantly raining down on it.

Im waiting until the fires stop to really give her a good wax and do a photo-shoot with chris.

Rio Z Lander

yeah i live only 6 miles from the foothill ranch fire but i dount it will come where i live

rivcal4life

Keep on doubting it dude.

Thats what literally hundreds of people were telling me at the Red Cross Evac Center. I volunteered there the last few days to help out with the evacuees from the fires in Crestline and Arrowhead.

More than half of them lost their homes.

Ever notice how everyone on TV who lost their homes says "I never thought it could happen to me"?

Well my theory is, its because they obviously didnt think it would happen to them, that it did in fact happen. They didnt take the preparations and cautions they should have.

If you only live 6 miles, you should really see about getting your house sprayed with a protective foam that resists fires. It costs a lot from what I understand, but it lasts for like 72 hours or more, and resists up to almost 1000*.

See about volunteering too, get some good karma on your side buddy.

berti_00

sick, love it

lower it alittle more tuck in the tires

rivcal4life

Yeah next time I get tires im going stretched, then Ill be able to lower it a lil more. Right now I dont want it to rub.

Rio Z Lander

yeah i know but theres nothing i can do the fire has gone away from my house it is up to the fire fighters

rivcal4life

Good to know your home is no longer threatened, but you can still go to your local red cross and donate some time.

My home was never in danger and I did.

ZorroAMG

OMFG you NEEEEEEED to clear coat your headlights and taillights. They look used/dirty right now.

Just get auto paint clear in a spray bomb...please for the love of W124s!!!!

shadowgriffen

Looks really gangster like that, I gotta admit I like that


Clearcoat the lights and you should be good to go!

rivcal4life

I clearcoated like literally 7-10 times, and wetsanded at 2000 grit.

I think im screwed cuz I followed the directions and did it on the outside.

Maybe a better clearcoat? Brand?

ZorroAMG

Contrary to what people think, clear coar needs to go on way thicker. Use automotive paint clearcoat.

rivcal4life

where do you get yours? any brand name suggestions?

ZorroAMG

it's by plasti-kote. The exact one I used is the clear Custom Kote that they gave me when I bought cans of my paint color in a can.

ZedStyle

if you had tinted from the inside you would have been straight...

ZorroAMG

The tint would have faded faster with direct contact to the bulb heat. Then, have fun cleaning and re-tinting. This way it's way easier to re-do.
