One month in...=D

Hey guys, well had the car a month now, and 3200 miles later already I've done some work. Outside I did the wheels black, black fender stripes, and tinted the windows all the way around 17%. So far performance wise all I have done is an exhaust and an airbox mod. But future is just a stage 2, caliper painting, paint the front bowtie, custom grille, fill the nasty front plate holes in, and little things here and there i find. But I've gone from this:


To this:



I'm liking the yellow alot more now, trying to add some black to tone it down a bit but I absolutely love my car lol. Thanks for looking, hope to see some at the Ohio meet next month!

you should definitely paint your headlights black to go with the theme.

Sanded them down with some 320grit, cleaned everything up, used some playing cards around the edges to not get any paint on the tires. 4 cans of Rustoleum Gloss Black paint(came out better looking than any duplicolor paint), and put about 3 coats on. Let them dry a few days before washing and waxing.

I liked them at first but looking to change, possibly bumblebee stripes (as much as I hate to copy the movie but I like them). Looking for different wheels also. Thanks for the comments guys
