I remember seeing those tails with the chevy symbol in them! They look sweet!

I bought the tinted oem ones off of ebay for $100 and if I do get stopped I can just swap lights to fight the ticket and those of us that have yearly inspections; I can just swap them out for when the time comes since I doubt the tinted tails I bought are dot approved.

I'd paint em black! Any hubcaps painted a different color look awkward from my experience.

Better yet, go to Pep Boys and get her "Spinner" hubcaps OR you can get her the hubcaps that are supposed to make your "rims" look bigger since they cover more of the tire -MAKE YOU 15" WHEELS LOOK LIKE 17"! That crap at pep boys always cracks me up.

There are 1-2 isles based off of F&F that I always see youngin's hanging out at!

lmao my sister wants her altima hooked up. i think im gonna paint her hubbies gloss black

i did her interior nice though so far. gotta do the rest but she had a cigarette burn mark in her shifter assembly so i bondo'd and repainted semi flat white with a glitter cleat coat. and put the 2.5 on there. check it


was an ugly textured tan. not its a sexy white, hard to see the metallic in it but when the light hits it just right u get a littler glimmer. just enough to be sexy without too much gay gliter feeling lol

Nice man, I dig it. Did you use Krylon plastic spray paint? I've used that stuff on all my exterior emblems, I painted my "Turbocharged" Emblem black but want to get the grooves where the letter are cut into the emblem painted red. I need to find something that I can use that's not too wide to fit in there.

Have any ideas off of the top of your head?

^now thats difficult.best way would be to paint whole thing red. cover the turbocharged lettering with tiny pieces of tape or something, or get a vinyl made up to cover it. then spray whole thing black and clear it. hard when its so tiny
