New Car

[bigboibbp]

Hey guys...
i just got my first car... (grand prix gt ofcoarse) it is that bronze mist color... (pics will be attached) and the first things i want to get done are the tail lights and the headlights.... i will be going with the tinted tails, and the halo head lights from spyder auto.


however after that i am stuck. im not sure on a color scheme yet, i am sure that i will keep the stock color however, not sure what to change the grill to etc... its pretty much between black, pewter, and chrome, however i feel that chrome is a bit tacky and pewter is a little harder and costlier to come by.


one last thing is that there is a bit of rust on the trunk, and i was wondering what would be the best way to get rid of that safely?

here are some pics...

any other suggestions plz let me know!

THANK YOU MUCH!!!

looks nice! looks like the passenger fender got tweaked or something!


color scheme: bronze mist + BLACK = WIN!

its a new fender... the car was involved in a small accident on the front passanger side.... no chassis damage tho

color scheme: bronze mist + BLACK = WIN!

think so? i kinda thought it would make the trim/accent pieces look a little less noticeable...
not sure yet what im going to do... i was thinking gold... but i hate the color gold...

more pics to probly come soon...

oh and what to do about the rust on the trunk?

Is it the lighting? It looks like the passenger fender, hood, and bumper were repainted a more of a greyish color.

yeah doesnt look like they colour matched very well .. for the rust, all you need to do is debadge, sand it down bare metal, self etch prime, seal, paint, clear ,done and done lol.. if you are having someone repaint the front half might as well ahve them paint the rear, but to save yourself some cost in labour, do the sanding/priming yourself.... or repaint it all yourself if you know how/have the tools...

the colour code is in the trunk on the lid incase you needed to know

lol... thanks from chicago...

I still havent recieved the car, sould be going to pick it up in about 2 days... however i will be driving either my uncles audi a8 or my aunts acura tl, for the next 2 week once i get it i will be disableing it to give it a FULL detail and somewhat of an overhaul... as far as repainting, not something i am able to do.... but ill see what i can do.

first thing you should look at is if its shadow casuing it to look 2 toned, or actually mispainted..

i believe its the angle... when i went to test drive it i didnt notice any difference in color... will take a second look when i go pick it up

Hmmm, really looks like both passenger doors were replaced or painted as they don't match the rest of the car. Could be the angle but its quite noticable in both pics
