done mods for a bit

over the past 3 days I started doing the first real "projects" on my car since Ive had it. first day I took apart my headlights ans painted them black (still need to reseal because of a slight fogging issue), 2nd day was installing sportlines, and today when we were at the junkyard picking up a strut bolt I ended up picking up a black radio and made the lights green to finish off my interior til I feel like doing the headliner. Anywho... heres pics of whats done so far.. Updated pics on pg 2











the green really doesnt show up on the camera but at night they are actually surprisingly bright

done for a bit, tomoro I might take cobalt off my trunk tho and just leave the black bowtie

just painted it black by hand... I will eventually get new wheels, just wondering for the time being if they would look good black... never seen a good picture of 16" lt rims painted black

that would be incorrect... taped off the chrome edges and rattlecanned it
