Talking Pics!

I was on my lunch break and as I was walking to my car, I thought to myself, "damn that's a sexy car!" lol... so I figured I'd take a couple pics of it and throw them up here since I haven't done so after the little bit of exterior mods I've done




so what do you think?

Nice, very clean.
Do you have plans of painting the lower bumper grille black?

thanks

and yeah, my first plan is to put on my center fog light upper grille and then hopefully paint the lower grille... the good thing is I stuck with the honeycomb upper grille and the lower grille is honeycomb too... so blacking it out should look good

Very nice! I agree about the lower grille looking so much better painted black as it wouldn't stick out so much, but otherwise, it's looking awesome!

so... what would be the best way for doing the lower grille... I'd rather do it myself than pay someone an arm and a leg for them to do it

I would just take it off and if it is a smooth surface I'd lightly sand it. Then I'd clean it, spray some paint on there, and throw a few good coats of clear on.

Looks great, but don't the rear tires rub the quarter panels? they look like they stick out a bit.

Thanks everyone... the rear tires don't rub at all... they stick out about an inch and a half past the fender... it gives it a more aggressive stance... wide tires with 1.5'' wheel spacers... gotta love it... lol
