Weekend Projects
Well here is what i did over the weekend. I know its dirty i know i know! Been busy havnt gotten a chance to clean it up.
Haloz- Thanks to Patrick got them installed and look great. Pic doesnt do it justice! (need a new camera)

Painted Gilles - Finally got em installed and painted. Over all didnt turn out to bad!


LED Tag Light - Turned out better than i thought. Instead of removing section where stock tag lights went i mounted 4 Leds in thier place and i get a cleaner look and i think about the same if not better than stock brightness.

Painted Spark Plug Cover - This took some time. After cleaning it off and sanding it applied the base coat then added a dark cherry red in the middle for the graphic then taped off the graphic and applied another base coat and then applied the Metalcast red let fully dry and remove graphic. Didnt turn out as good as i expected but im going to pin stripe around the graphic to make it look better. Still need to put the logo plates back on though.

This comming weekend its back at it with a new alarm and shaved door kit. Should be interesting.

nice. yeah those angel eyes are supposed to be red, I hate when camera's do that.
Take a pic of where you mounted the AE's switch. DAMN, I love the way those look on the RD2's. Still like my RD1 angel eyes...just need eyelids.

Looks good! Never thought I'd like red grilles. Btw, how many miles on your car? You have the cleanest stock IM I have ever seen.
Thanks! It just rolled 69k. I try to keep it as clean as possible but sometimes i just done have the time.

What kind of grill mesh is that, the chicken wire stuff?
I got it on ebay. Its aluminum wire mesh. Forms nice and doesnt look bad painted or not.

Awesome man, looks really good.
I think you need some clear corners though. Your stockers are taking away from your sweet @$$ headlights.
Otherwise though, it looks really good. Your car has made quite the transformation. fing02.gif

Thanks all for the compliments. I know need clear corners. everytime i go to order them something comes up and i end up not. This will prolly be the last pics of my car for a while. Next time you all see it itll look 10x better and different. Planning on doing A Lot of work between now and next show season. Have one last show in OKC Next month (Sept) and then the transformation begins.
