    Well Its been awhile since Ive posted here. Here's an update of whats happening with my car.


    The dark black theme started to seem just that, dull and dark. Car will be going through some changes this week. Gunmetal is my new color of choice.

    What it looked like.



    As it stands as of tonight.

    Repainted the GPOs, polished the grilles and got some vinyl for the ugly reflectors.





    Rims from stripped down aluminum to gunmetal.





    Thats all I got for tonight. Plan on doing the rear of the car tomorrow. Will have some more pics once everything's painted and I pick up my goods from the local vinyl shop.

    Should have washed the car before paint, I know the weather up there sux... but either that or waited till the roads dryed.

    But other then that it should look very nice when its all finished.
