mpearce1974 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Well work done since last year? Not much but I have been busy lately! Tinted tails, and bumper reflectors the last 2 days! Was going for subtle on tails, and nailed it, might be a bit light but it looks like they should of stock from factory! It just added depth and luster to it with out blacking out like alot of others do. Also I masked off reverse light, and like the look of that, and it makes the light tint more noticeable! Reflectors will be deleted once I paint and install actual side markers in the fenders! Top brake light will be done as soon as I make up my mind if I want to go with 3-4 coats of tint rather than just 2 like they are currently. Opinions on that are well come??? As seen in pic above^^^I installed new OEM mud guards as well! Installed Skunk2 Rear LCA's, got them brand new from a local for $100! Have future stock Vtec model rear sway, and also stock front strut bar on the way soon! New DStuning trunk mat, not real impressed but it will do. Still need to make a new board for it and take better pics later! Ghey that they stopped so short of the corners! Oh yeah I am currently in the middle of stripping, sanding and polishing my first and definitely my last set of rims!!!!!!! >_< Chemical stripping FTMFW!! Stripped mostly that is! Here is just a small area that I half asssed sanded and polished just to see what it would look like. Only used Mothers and hit with high speed buffer. If any one can recommend the best compound to use I would appreciate it! One rim stripped and sanded to 800 grit, need more 1500 grit and possibly 2000 grit paper, then compounded! Oh stock radiator took a dump on me, so I replaced it, and relocated my over flow! Here is where the overflow now resides! Next will be full wire tuck, paint, battery relocation into ds front bumper, and who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevotron5000 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 ^^ Subtle, keep it the way it is. IMO, the best mods are subtle mods where you have to second guess whether or not something's actually been done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbith Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Looks good bud. I personally like blacked out on a black car, but the subtle tint on the tails looks good. What are you using to strip the wheels. i need to do that but wouldnt know where to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like this -- Had a little light just above the trigger, was pretty nice. I am going to be getting a shipment of those in some time in the near future! I can sell you one at cost and you pay for shipping. I sell them on Ebay for $100-110 bare tool. My cost on those is $65 depending on if I buy 10 or more, which I have a order for 10 right now! LMK if you want a replacement some time, you wont get one cheaper than that, hell I just sold a used one for $80.00! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeryon Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I can vouch for him on the tools. I just dropped $200 on a nice array of equipment from pearce that was vastly cheaper then I could have bought myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
