Why dont you just take a reciprocating saw and cut that blacked out part of the bumper right out?

 

that would be all sorts of east side badass

Posted

There is a fine line between "Blacked out lenses" and Blacked out lenses.

Posted

I would put mine as "blacked out lenses"

 

Good thing I took the insurance off today. So I am not tempted to drive it.

Posted

Since it was a beautiful 36 degrees today :rolleyes:, I was able to get outside and start my next project.

 

I started to remove all the black paint on my exhaust tips. I got a good start so far, took me 30 minutes to get

this far. It started getting dark at 5 and I can't work in the dark.

I still have a lot more to do, but I think its already starting to look good.

Posted

why did that take you so long? did you do it by hand?

 

Ya I did it by hand. Tomorrow after school I will stop and get some sand paper for my grinder.

Posted

that makes more sense then....it's like a 5-10 minute job with a grinder :lol:

 

:lol:

 

Then that is route I am definitely going to take.

Posted

It's looking much better now.

 

Thanks with my being sick and the crappy weather, I think I'm doing good so far.

Posted

I finished this today, the pictures don't do it justice.

 

I started at 100 by hand yesterday. Today, on the grinder 100, 150 and 320. I did 1000 by hand. Then a 2000 girt

wet sand.

 

Then I finished it by polishing it by mothers chrome polish. I might have over done it but they really look good.

Looks 100x better but they will get dirty again as soon as you drive it.

I replaced the license plate bulb, with a blue one. I will get pics when it gets dark. And is that legal?

Is it legal?

 

Probably not. I got pulled over for blue tinted turn signals when I had my Scion, and switched them to red. Didn't have a problem after that.

Posted

Maybe if I can find a red one. But I had a hard time getting a blue one. And Blue goes better with the Michigan license plate.

Posted

And Blue goes better with the Michigan license plate.

 

true, but legality may win here....

 

if it is a bright enough shade, then it may pass as white when it's dark out.

Posted

I have an idea for you.

 

See if you can get some LED lights for your plate. I have a friend that did that to an unmentionable car (H***a) and it looks SWEET.

Well, I hope it just gives it a blueish tint. So I can keep it. When it gets dark we will see.

Seriously!

I could do that. I will see how this blue bulb looks first. But I really want a 3rd brake light with led lights in it.

It looks more greenish blue in person. And my phone doesn't take good night pictures.
