    Black trim accomplished!

    Yay!











    I know, crappy phone picture quality and I could have moved it if I wanted.

    Just kinda tired from surgery and the PICC line in my arm still.

    Lemme know what you think! :D

          I'm not sure about the rockers.

          I kinda like them the way they are.

          Rockers would be just a little too much black for me.

            generic wallmart cheap spray paint fades in the sun very quickly, I hope you paid more than $.98 per can.

              We'll see how it holds up, if it doesn't work out then I can buy better paint.

                Sweet Jesus it's about time. It looks a lot better. I agree that you should have used SEM Trim Black or something suited to the job, though. That stuff will be ashy grey in weeks. Now it's just time to get rid of those hideous "BBS" wheels.

                PS Another +1 vote for the rockers. They were that way from the factory for a reason. :D

                  Yeah, SEM would be best, and I can get it free at MAACO.

                  I'm off work for a while though because this damn PICC line in my arm.

                    looks 1,000,000x better IMO, and I have a feeling you like it better now as well or you probably wouldn't have gone through with it. :p

                    if you like your car, that's what's up. you could spend a lifetime trying to build a car that everyone on r3v would fully approve of.

                            I plan on keeping the I lip.

                            I had to body color for a while, just didn't do it for me.

                              Looks great, much better than dipped in paint look.
