i did 3 or 4 very light coats with black rustolium and it came out great.

My main issue is that the actual seal up against the window on these is cracking too. For 90 bucks a door tho Ill be painting them and living with the crappy seal

and it hurts when you put your arm out the window, and lean on the cracked plastic.

after painting it you'll want to do the other side thats not broken up because it looks like ass compared to the side you just painted.


edit, just realized we drive the same car lol

Yea Ive been pinch/stabbed a couple times this week but pinch and stab all it wants for 90 bucks its going to stay that way. Well minus the painting. You use semi-gloss? Im just painting them done and done. To expensive for real. Haha we do dont we. I love this car minus the fuel pump resistor that is taking its sweet time getting here from GMPD. Ive had it bypassed for about 1 to many months and I want Fastkatt to get my tuning done in the next week or 2 so that means gotta fix it. You stock still I see?

will this thread ever end?,
lol

$90, is that new or from a local yard?

yes i used the semi gloss, my cars black so the shine of the new paint made for a nice contrast., mite even want to hit them up with some clear coat, i scratched the driver side door scraping ice off this past winter.

and yeah sadly still stock, but i got some plans for down the down the road.

Atleaast you got black I got green with silver bottom. Looked great with my tints tho but I had them removed and refunded since it was the worst tint job Ive seen after the second redo. He used a sharpie to fix his mistakes the first time. I just did the AEM open cone from ebay and a catless ZZP Downpipe. After my tune I think Ill just leave it as is I wanna drop to a 3.6 or 3.5 but no cash for more exhaust mods to support it. Ill just get the tints done again and have a decently fast GS. Not going to be spankin everything on the road just looking to surprise a few people lol

im only doing my mods one time, all at once, so it will be stock till i got the funds all together to do it all, i dont want to take small steps and be upgrading all the time, one shot wonder this time.

and as far as tint, im going to try it myself, im going to black out the back windows, and leaving the front windows stock, "NJ sucks" i've done my pick up trucks before and i have a hot air gun, so i think ill get it done ok.

Thats pretty much what I did since my mods are staying so mild. The pulley drop is a dream, the open cone & DP were just done and the tune will be within 2 weeks. So all in a months time. Not to bad

I really want to do the tints myself too but Im not to sure yet thats a toss up still. Pricing things out

im stock piling mods then blowing it all apart over a winter, none of this take apart put together stuff
