Hey Project...................I..........love your car
thX [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

I wanna get a ROUSH wing alrdy... why do those things have to cost so much [sm=boohoo.gif]
I know....all the stuff for our cars is crazy expensive. I dont mind the rear of your car with the gt wing, it looks good. But i think the roush will look good too. Hey where did you get your street scene rear valance at?

idk what you cats are talking about - seriously....the factory-style taillamp stripes on my plymouth are done in spray can - been there for 5 years now - no problems - and we're talkin about on the rear valance, which catches a ton of rocks, dirt, etc. sanded, rattle-canned and cleared my rockers and wheels, as well - been on almost a year, driven through the winter...some people i guess just want to spend more money for the same thing - i only did my plymouth that way because the factory vinyl decals leave gaps around the taillamps, which i did not want.

You can get a vinyl for 20$ and they can be waxed and gloss up. Also, lasts 4+ years. If it gets scratched, pull it off and throw a new one on! -Jon

This is right up there with the red loctite on the oil drain plug post.
Got any old timers who remember that post?

now that's pretty extreme - loctite on a drain plug, eh? why is it that people think spray paint doesn't stick and last? and why can't you wax on it? i'm lost on this one, really

I've never had problems with spray paint when it's applied properly.

I took mine to a great local body shop that offers a lifetime warranty on their work. It cost me $150.00, but I saved a lot more in peace of mind.

Wait. Did the OP spray paint the back of the trunk or just the tail light bezels? I pray they didn't paint the trunk with a $2 can of spray paint!!!
