What is there to comment on? A couple pictures of your valve cover off doesn't mean much.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. As for the rear valence, it looks like crap painted black, and more so in that rubberized black. It's just plain wrong.

It was a question.

Great thanks, are you always such an ass?

Nimble, is this what you used?

How does it clean up once it gets dirty. It is more a flat black vs. what the factory was?

Only 6 cylinder cars had trunk tar.

wow that nuts, i want to take mine off because it is all crappy, will the paint underneath be very fadded?

if anything, the paint will be nicer underneath and faded on either side of where the stripe once was.

Well, if you really want to know, my fingernails and a LOT of patience. 5 hours worth in fact. By FAR the worst job I've ever performed on a car....by far...

fuck, does anybody know if there are shift boots just like this that are leather? mine is vinyl, and it has the one seam down the back...i want 2 diagonal seams in the front, like this one

The one in my car is original and made out of leater. No idea where to get a new one of that style.

Car looks great!!!!
Reminds me of mine,tear...

Great job, ive had mine a week and only worked about 5 hrs on it, just mostly finding problems. It's looking great keep up the good work and keep us posted.

Also what do you use and do to remove the pinstripe?

[golde30]

Yeah, it's so so. I'm starting to like it more though. I figure the more black parts I add, the more it will blend in. Maybe a rear black euro plate filler, and partially painting up higher on the front bumper? Not sure if that would look lame though?

hahaha. this guy thinks like me back in the day (few months ago). just stop now, otherwise it will cost more later to paint it back...

nice car...its alot of fun working on these cars, doing the small things that can make them look so good!!!..... Also I have rubber mats in my trunk that weighed about 30pnds each...no tar

No way, don't go any more black on the car, except maybe the plate filler. There is such a thing as too much contrast, and you're already headed that direction with the solid black rear apron. I would personally take that upper part back to red, but don't do anymore black. Just all my opinion.

[Jand3rson]

Car looks pretty good overall, I really don't like the solid black rear apron though, it doesn't look very good. I would have left it half-red.
