[chinny 5,000+ posts]

Okay yesturday we painted AC vents from gray to black and the suckers in the top also, my plans are to paint the car black then put the car on 18"

Then lowering my car about 1.6" in the front and 1" from the back.

Anyways, today we got around to paiting the window rollers thingy, here some pix.

First i put them in water then i dryed them then i stuck them in rubing alchohol and cleaned them then i sanded with 180 and then i sanded with 320.

Then after i sanded everything i put one coat of black Krylon Fusion Black paint.

Then i let it dry and i noticed that it was as black as i wanted it so i applied the clear coat.

More to come, i have many plans for this car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

don't neons sit pretty low to the ground? i always never understood why people lowered cars. it's just my opinion.

The neon in the front is preaty low, thats why i might just get 19's with low pros.

UndercoverPunk, no it isnt tacky, its personal taste //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Improved handling and look.

Dont get 19s with low pro's aka rubberbands. Id get 17s with some nice rubber.

hope you dont do any thing to the ingine after the wheels cuz I put 18's on my civic and the handleing sucked. I like to go drifting so some nice 16's did just fine. if you gonna get new rims i'd go ahead and get new calipers, breake pads and discs cuz the stock stuff looks nasty with new rims
