Made a few changes today...

Had a low speed accident last week with my KuRookie so pulled it off today..using midnytegsedan's OEM bumper for now while Naughty240 works on repairing mine



finished..bumper will be left in primer temporarily.
started doing work on a set of OEM lights I picked up locally cheap...blacking them out and buffing out the lenses with the 3M repair kit



after first coat of black
forgot to take pics of them after the paint was finished today...i'll post them up later.

Installed emblemless grille I picked up off Naughty240 as well. Props to him for doing the project right and reinforcing the grille with a durable support.
First time ever having a front plate on my car&back to amber sidemarkers until bumper is repaired

7/27/10
Pulled apart a few interior pieces before pulling the headliner...putting that off until next week

BEFORE
AFTER
Props to Naughty240 for spraying these pieces/help taking apart the interior.
He's working on a DIY

Shifter wrapped in 3M Di Noc..going to try to do that bottom round piece soon.

Nice, I'm starting to love the emblemless oem grill more and more. I need to pick up a spare one so I can do my own.

I did the painting on the lights myself w. naughty240's guidance while he and joe (midnightblue) ripped apart Joe's interior for suede....but definately gonna get some quality paintwork done by him within the next week.

I wanted to do the exact same thing, but realized Twilight Blue looks nice with the chrome trim and grill. Kind of sets off the blue nicely.

yeah thats true, gives it a little contrast...spraying it matte and leaving the emblemn chrome might look nice too.
