jeremy Posted December 7, 2009 Report Posted December 7, 2009 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 Quote
White93z34 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Posted December 7, 2009 There is a fine line between "Blacked out lenses" and Blacked out lenses. Quote
94 olds vert Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Posted December 7, 2009 I would put mine as "blacked out lenses" Good thing I took the insurance off today. So I am not tempted to drive it. Quote
94 olds vert Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Posted December 8, 2009 If anything I will just put the factory ones back on come spring. Quote
94 olds vert Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Posted December 13, 2009 Since it was a beautiful 36 degrees today , 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. Quote
jeremy Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 why did that take you so long? did you do it by hand? Quote
94 olds vert Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Posted December 13, 2009 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. Quote
jeremy Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 that makes more sense then....it's like a 5-10 minute job with a grinder Quote
94 olds vert Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Posted December 13, 2009 that makes more sense then....it's like a 5-10 minute job with a grinder Then that is route I am definitely going to take. Quote
Radnsmash Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 I did mine by hand so it took me an hour LOL. Quote
94 olds vert Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Posted December 14, 2009 It's looking much better now. Thanks with my being sick and the crappy weather, I think I'm doing good so far. Quote
94 olds vert Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Posted December 14, 2009 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. Quote
5speedz34 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Looks 100x better but they will get dirty again as soon as you drive it. Quote
94 olds vert Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Posted January 13, 2010 I replaced the license plate bulb, with a blue one. I will get pics when it gets dark. And is that legal? Quote
tornado_735 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 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. Quote
94 olds vert Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Posted January 13, 2010 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. Quote
RobertISaar Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 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. Quote
tornado_735 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 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. Quote
94 olds vert Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Posted January 13, 2010 if it is a bright enough shade, then it may pass as white when it's dark out. Well, I hope it just gives it a blueish tint. So I can keep it. When it gets dark we will see. Quote

I have a friend that did that to an unmentionable car (H***a) and it looks SWEET. 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. Quote

94 olds vert Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Posted January 13, 2010 It looks more greenish blue in person. And my phone doesn't take good night pictures. Quote
