im all for doing whatever makes you happy when it comes to mods for your car....

but i cant get past that pinstriping...its so superfluous...

you can get it off...any body shop/detail shop will do it...
sometimes we get trades at work that have painted initials on em or faded crappy looking stripes and we always get em off

edit: try stuff called aftalene...its like a mild paint thinner...just make sure you buff out the area afterwards

i would like to take it off but i cant afford to get it painted over lol.. someone said to use acetone? would that work? and if you looked at my car closely, you could see that its already starting to come off in some spots. mind you i bought the car brand new in nov

Yeah you took off most of the chrome! Looks better IMO. Now all we need to do is convince you about the tail lights for a darker appearence. AVS tail light rings around the stockers would look badass on the Sportcoat tinted red you have there! Hint Hint!

7MP doesn't mean it's junk, that is plenty for good photos. And, getting more MP doesn't mean your photos will be better. I believe everyone is referring to the horrible night photography. No lighting, odd lighting, etc. Having headlights light up your camera doesn't mean it will light up the car, thats what flash and/or exposure is for (along with a tripod unless you have a ridiculously insane camera).

dude thats actually pretty nice

and no you dont really need any special tools besides a good rag and some of that **** i told you about

like i said make sure you buff the area good afterwards and just watch out and make sure you dont rub the clear coat off...which shouldnt be a problem

looks like you have an upside down hairy va jay jay on ur hood lol

taillights came out nice too
