    Okay...I added something new

    Well a few days ago i had enough of the ambers as i was getting no where with finding some smokes for an okay price so i went out and bought some Testors black window tint and went to town and really blacked them out.

    I took TJ's suggestion and took off the ES badge and the euro plate and put the US plate right on the bumper.

    Euro grills should be installed on Saturday or Monday. (wont do any good on my car but o well)




    One of these days i will go out and get some back to black to put on the faded strip.

    Enjoy!

    Don't bother with the back to black. Just use shoe polish. Apply and buff off.

          Looks real good man, the front of my car is my favorite part... ES lip, tucked bumper, amber fogs, euro ellips, end soon euro grilles too.

              I agree. go to the shoe dept in walmart and get some black shoe polish. mask off the bumper trim and put that stuff on. makes it look 100 times better.

                This is somewhat off-topic.. but shoe polish also does wonders for worn steering wheels! I love that stuff.

                Lookin' good Ryan!

                  I dont think you want the polish, but the black leather dye. I havent used shoe polish, but the dye made my us bumpers look new. I need to do it on my euros now too.

                    Any close up pics of the ambers lit up, so we can see how good the tint looks? I'm contemplating doing my sidemarkers in this fashion and want to know if it works really well.
