And here is one more that I thought I put up yesterday.
I like the idea of following that line all the way back. I might need to drop it another inch and tint it though! My gf thinks its hilarious but loves it. She actually WANTS me to make it a dedicated race car!

Thanks Butters! Sunroof and front bumper done now too. We're getting some rain here, so I might delay for a while.

I'm 11 cans in thus far, just went to the local Ace to see if they had some more. They did, but it was almost twice the cost of Home Depot, so I passed, as I'm gonna buy another dozen or so. They did however have plastidip "Smoke" which is translucent black. I think I'm going to try smoking the lenses on the bumper turn signals. Anyone tried using this? I'll try to go get a decent pic.

Having trouble attaching photos right now for whatever reason, but the smoking of the lights is under way. If it looks cheap and sh**ty, I'll just peel it off!

Yah my Ace has it for $9

Funny you mentioned smoke, we just did my friend's 3000gt's taillights. The stuff's interesting. First few coats it makes your lights just matte colored and then very gradually works its way to a dark grey. 1 can covered both his taillights just fine though.
(lemme get a pic from my friend..)


On another note: my bud's 328is wheels plastidipped black + silver metalizer (2 cans of metalizer did all 4 wheels)

I like the night shades more. Gives it a bit more gloss.

I agree, however, you can't peel off night shades

Pretty much. Google maps Rio Verde, AZ. It's the road between there and Fountain Hills.

Those cactuses look weird. They're all shriveled up and hairy like old people (no offence to any seniors on here). Do you come across lots of peyote, san pedro, or peruvian torch in your area?
