    Paintedddddd

    Haha okay guys, here ya go.

    This is what it looked like when I bought the car...



    Then I put some time into it...





    2 weeks ago - Rebuilt the motor, went up to a 2.7 stoker with a new I head and cleaned up all the pistons and what not.

    Last week - Did full Zimmerman Drilled Rotors with Hawk racing pads up front and HPS in the rear. ( I know they aren't that great but whatever ).

    Saturday - Tuesday - Chapparone Autobody painted my Shadow Lining, Front Grilles, Headlight housing, Door Handles, Spoiler, Front and Rear window moldings Matte Black. It honestly set the car off so so so so nicely, I'm very happy with it. Here are the pics!!!

    iPhone pics don't do it, I'll get my real camera next week or later this weekend... I'm also going to be filming with my GoPro HD, so get ready for some awesome footage. :)











    Then after I picked up my car from the shop, I managed to go pick up 2 Kicker 12" L5's in a Kicker box. I'm running my 1500 Watt Rockford Fosgate amp to them, and man... it's LOUD.

    So happy that my car is coming together, next is probably Exhaust or Front lowering springs and skidplate. I'm also looking into a new radiator... Mine is old and sucks, need a new one asap. Hope you guys liked my writeup and progress pics!

    wow, that looks a million times better. Painting the rockers would be a nice touch too though!

      Much better than before. This car is very refreshing to look at because it isn't a typical color.

          Looks so much better, but please either remove the CA plate or put it back where it goes!

                    Yep, thats much better. Never liked the black wheels but it kinda works on your car.

                      Hows about an IS lip so the front end doesnt look like a redneck with no teeth.

                            big improvement from when you got it dude.

                            you should try to wet sand and polish the paint

                              Looks much better. Are the tails still blacked out?
