Thanks man.

It's far from where I want it though. I need to get the side moldings, but can't really find any in the junk yards, and no one ever sells them.

Grats. How much did the paint job cost? My only fear is that it'll start to get all crappy after a few months. :x

A friend of the family did it, and pretty much only charged me for paint/materials.. so all I paid out of pocket was $325.

He did our Mustang, about a year ago, and if I clay barred and waxed that car, it would look like it just came from the booth. The car doesn't get driven, because it was a lien from my sted dad's old body shop. The guy couldn't pay for the work, so he gave up the title, but my sted dad lost it, and he can't find the owner to get another title for him.

Those were like that when I got the car.

When I buy a can of Nightshades for the turn signals up front, I'm going to do the tail lights, so they're black, instead of just a smoked/tinted red. I agree though, they look great and blends with the rest of the car.

Looks nice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

We had a saying up north, for all us broke car guys, "**** paint, we ride primer." I think we said that only because we couldn't afford to GET our cars painted. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

You'll really enjoy washing it/waxing it and taking pride in having a nice car, I'm happy for you. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You mean buy a pair of Nightshades right //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Car looks decent, never really liked the look of that model Integra for some reason though.

[Threadjack] Went to take my boat out to your recommendations, pull the boat off the trailer and the steering is locked up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Ended up fishing from the catwalk and dock and caught 5 decent sized whiting, and a few mangrove snapper. Fixed the steering this morning, gonna try again Sat. morning. [/Threadjack]

Please don't do bronze wheels. I absolutely hate bronze/gold wheels. Just black everything out and go badgeless. Keep it as sleek as possible.

That was a joke. I 'd rather see him put a pair of 12" Nightshades in it rather than put some Nightshade tint on his taillights. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I don't really want a bunch of audio. I may deaden the doors, get a decent set of components, and a 10" sub, like a Q or something, and call it a day.

Hmm.. is is cable or hydraulic steering? The cables like to bind up a lot.

Where did you go? Jensen Beach?

Probably going to not get the emblems. I'd really hate to have to put new holes in the hatch and front bumper.

I don't know.. I kind of like the way they look on the car. I don't really want to do black rims, though. Maybe I'll just refinish the Blades I picked up, and throw them on.
