well, a lot of stuff came up between getting this car and getting her done, i'm just doing the last of the vacuum lines right now and need to put in engine oil, trans. oil, coolant, hook up the battery positive and *crosses fingers* MAYBE it'll be running tonight, sure hope so. still need to do the interior, don't even have my seats in yet (red sparco milano in alcantera) nor a dash, but it's getting closer, maybe by the middle or end of july it'll be ready to drive for real pics soon to come (keep forgetting my digital camera when i come to work on it).

dmoffitt,
You mentioned earlier that you were going to try to duplicate the look of the rear lenses. I blacked out every lense on my car except the fog/driving lights. I had a shop take clear coat and add black toner to it. The lights shine through perfectly at night and during the day are blacked out nicely. I'll get some pics up if your interested. When done this way the lenses shine like the paint and can even be waxed.

i really like how they came out, although they seem.... faded along the edges. ah well. the only lights i like on this car (aside from stock) are the hand-done ones from that sweedish company (red/clear only). car's beautiful tho btw what size wheels/tires are those?

Actually, I have way better pics. That pic was a test I did with some window tint spray from a hobby store. I liked the look so much I had a body shop do it up. You should see it. I'll get the pics up as soon as I can if you like...let me know.

Dmoffitt, good eye, they were faded around the edges. Actually, they were starting to peel off. I wash the car alot, and I mean a lot. So I went to a buddy who has a body shop and it was his idea. Now all the lenses are as shiny as the car. Dan, I'll get the pics on a disc and download them as soon as I can. The new pic on the Powerhaus website shows the front turn sigs done. Don't know how well you can see them. I'll see if I can have my friend put a few more pics of it up there to show the other angles till I can download these. Oh, the wheels are Polished Kenesis Supercups. 18x8 and 18x10.
