I striped the paint from my kidneys so they're chrome again. Thankfully I didn't sand them too much so they still had a nice mirror finish after I stripped off the paint.

My car is coming along exactly like yours haha. I am in the progress of doing a plastic bumper swap though. I finished the front now i need to do the rear. Nice progress, your car is coming along great.

shes looking pretty sweet but that lip looks a little off. Think I like the chrome kidneys better too. I was just over by Jones beach last weekend thinking why the hell would they plant palm trees here.

Thanks man, the lip is only temporary. Your car would look great with chrome kidneys and your new wheels.

I was thinking about bringing back the silver kidneys and window trim. I threw the black winter weaves on so that prob wont happen till the spring.

Thanks! I would keep them unpainted. It depends what color your car is.

Mine is diamondschwarz.
I just cannot decide if I like the chrome or not..

Just thought I'd share another quick update. I used some acetone to undo the tint i did on my tails. It wiped right off! Definitely looks a lot cleaner. Im hopefully tinting the turn signals red soon. Also I need to trim my exhaust, it looks pretty dumb sticking out like that. Im still deciding if its worth it t fix the nasty dent in the quarter panel, im not even sure if its possibe without a new panel :???:

Coming along really well. Nice to see somebody else working on their eta as well :)
