    no more fogs

    As some of you know my fogs were a little silly so i got rid of them all together. I made some blanks out of some old DVD cases painted them black and slapped them on. i ran out of paint so the frames look like shit.

        With all this painting you do, you should start with your bumper trim. That would vastly improve the look of your car.

                Why not buy a decent set of foglights?

                    How many coats do you plan on doing, and are you going to use self-etching primer for the bumpers?

                        low on my list of things i NEED that cost money plus i kinda like the contrast the black makes. eventually there will be brake ducts there.

                          Why?
                          You already have brake ducts. Put fogs in there and stop messing around.
                          And contrast..... really? You like the five different shades of black on your car? Do me a favor. If you are going to go nuts with a rattle can follow these steps.
                          1. buy 5 cans of krylon fusion black semi.
                          2. remove ALL of your trim including anything else you want to paint black (blinker surrounds as well)
                          3. SAND it all starting from rough to fine grit.
                          4. Wash well with soap and water to remove any grease, let dry totally.
                          5. Paint everything nice and slow, and evenly cover with 5 coats.
                          6. let it all dry overnight.
                          7. re-install
                          8. be proud of a project well done.
                          Seriously. stop half assing stuff. For 50 to 60 bucks and a little bit of time your 87 could be awesome. You have such a cool car! Do a WHOLE project so it is uniform. These little things you are doing are wasting your time (not that I am an expert on how you spend it or anything;)).
