Lookin good!

 

thanks

 

what exactly did you do to your headlights? everything looks good though...i'm liking this evo mod everyone does, but how would you do it on a black car lol

 

Looks Good!

Good example of how to change the look of your car for short $$$

 

he put them in the oven to soften the glue, then pulled the lenses off, and painted the chrome bezel. Cheap easy way for blacked out headlights.

 

He took them apart (by heating in an oven), sanded, and painted them black.

You could paint the lip white mebe? lol

 

Nice Job I like what u did with the SC

 

thanks the finish on it is sweet it feels like almost powder coated and it cleans easily, the previous owner let the engine bay go and it had a ton of dirt sunk into the cast aluminum, it looks brand new.

on the bumper? naw im going for a red and black theme here lol.

 

exactly what i was going for and the cans of wheel paint and engine paint and gloss black i had laying around the garage.

 

now you just need to plati dip the wheels black

 

Probably not gonna do that but thanks for suggestion, and I have my 6000K HID's coming in tmrw which I got on eBay $35shipped, I'm trying to go as budget friendly as I can on this car.

 

Lookin good! I definitely wouldn't have spray painted my charger on the car tho haha.

 

I approve! Nice work

 

Why not people paint valve covers which probably get hotter than the Charger, to each there own I guess lol,

And thanks for the approval on my handy work.

 

tastefully done so farr

 

Did you use Night shade for the Evo mod?

 

i will keep it classy

and no for the evo mod i used the Plasti Dip i used night shade on the tail's and side markers and reflectors in the headlights.

 

That's what I thought, but it was just so wet and dark. [[ba dum tiss]]

Thanks. I plan on doing the same to my bumper!

 

i just used packaging tape when i taped it off and i did like 4 coats and it helps if the car is jacked up so your not laying on the ground painting but it looks so much better in my opinion and it hide the crack from the previous owner.

 

sweet I'm drunk!!!

sowwwyyy

 

what kind of wheel paint did you use on the S/C? I know the rustoleum wheel paint requires both a base and clear coat. if that's the kind of paint you used, and you only painted the base coat, id get some clear on that S/C asap, or it wont last very long.

 

love cheap mods! wish i had more time for stuff like this, it takes me 3 months to do what you did.

 

did you put your housings in the oven with the bulbs still in there? surprised they didn't burst on you. Everything looks tasteful so far. I would suggest taking off the wing and plugging the holes (or swap).
