this x10!! should have washed it before doing that!!! :r:
also if you were debadging why didnt you take a few mins to remove what looks like a dealer sticker slapped on the trunk?

taillights look alright, I'm out of the blacked out tail light phase, but if you like it... and why isn't the thrid brake light done? and the SS badge looks off now that its just floating there on the trunk lid. :lol:

sorry just looks like a lot of small things that still need to be cleaned up

i wouldve finished everything up, but it got cold and windy really quick, and i plan on doing the 3rd brake light, but ran out of tint lol, the dealer sticker is coming off too, just need to be ale to get into my garage to use the heat gun, dads truck is in the way

an easier way to do the tinting and also more consistant is to buy tinting film off ebay. works real easy. and yea what they said lol

howd u get ur 'supercharged' badge to have red letters? paint pen?

dxdean3 04-08-2012 03:20 PM

there already tinted now lol, kinda late, and i just used plain jane model paint and a fine bristled brush, it takes some time and about 3 or 4 coats, and you dont have to worry about getting paint on the shiny, chrome plastic finish because if you catch it almost right away you can wipe it right off

your car doesn't need a paint job most likely you would be amazed what a good buff job can do.

livingdeadpk 04-08-2012 03:42 PM

i know lol, living on a dirt road and working for a landscaping company really kills how clean the car will stay lol

I'd say, move the SS badge on the trunk to lower left or lower right, it looks odd floating there.

Also, when I tinted my tail lights, the inner reverse lights came out extremely shitty too, but I sanded just as much as the outters... who knows

x2.

takes a car with swirl marks from touch car wershes and turns then back into a brand new car! even a hand wax will do wonders. but not for that many swirl marks.
