SO i have a thread elsewhere on the forum , but i think i will redo and make a nicer one on here for all to see in a more appropriate place . Enjoy , Give feedback , comment or flame if need be. I will keep this post up to date with everything i have received and installed.


Started out with this , Purchased rims and Tires , and Painted front Upper grill.
and shortened the Antenna





Move on to Interior changes , Pained the vent borders white , also did the corner vents and hand grip on doors





Debadged the rear , really makes it look clean , and on white clean is good. Also Nightshaded the Tail lights and front bumper blinkers.


Found a Local store that was able to order me the SVT front lower Grill , And so i modded what i and made this beauty. She Looks sooo Purdy .


Moved on to under the hood at this point , and painted the battery cover , top white , sides clean and left black , clear cloated the whole thing.




Ordered and received some new emblems from TFB designs , So i got them all around.




Painted my CAI to match my color scheme i am useing.



CLEAN ENGINE BAY!!!! Yes i got it detailed , it was in horrible shape.



Received a new front upper grill from Europe , Also new emblem for it.




Recieved a few goodies from our Friends at Massive Performance , Thanks Karl.







Installed new valve cover , and front strut bar , rear bar will get installed when i get a warmer day or spring , whichever comes first.




and lastly for the moment but not least new HVAC knobs.

The Winter i will be collecting a few things , but only work i will be doing or getting done will be mechanical , to bring the health up some more, as i am having a few small issues i need to address.

I will update as i go along and hope people have an interest in my build.

Thanks

Rattle can paint , with flex agent in it. Nothing special really , other than flex agent . But i did 3 light coats to cover , then 2 heavier coats , wet sand between heavy coats , then wet sand to smooth out , then clear coat.

Very nice! Any name brand on the can? I'm interested to know what you use. Maybe Krylon Fusion? I imagine it would hold up to conditions because it has a picture of an outdoor plastic chair on it. But i don't know if i'd use it.

it was dupli-color brand. for both the paint and clear coat. it shows a bumper on the sticker. and in highlighted letters for bumpers , abs plastic and other automotive plastics . Also goes on to explain the ability to stand up to the environment.... well i will be testing that over the winter.
