My 2005 Convertible GT Got A Makeover
Before the makeover
New Trufiber GTS III getting prepped before going on the car.
Hood Pin Stud.
Lining everything up to make sure it's straight and smooth.
Making sure it's going to go over the pin right.
More prep work.
All taped up to paint the underside of the hood.
Hood cut in with the red paint and black outline.
Hood off the car and now getting the rest ready for paint.
Original rear spoiler removed and getting ready to fill the holes from it. Taillights out as well.
Holes all filled and smoothed out.
Filling the holes on the front bumper from where the front tag use to be.
Street Scene Rear Lip lightly painted before adding to the rear bumper.
In the paint booth drying. Stripes all laid out on the hood and vents cut in with black.
Close up of the back with the new Street Scene Spoiler and Rear Lip added to the bumper.
Out of the paint booth getting washed off and about to be wet sanded to make everything smooth and shinny.
