I wonder what your car would look like with the botom part of the front and rear bars painted the same as the bottom part of the doors?

Im thinking that it could look quite nice....
Hey dont some solras have that sort of paint job... but in a disgusting silver/grey....

I think that the black on the white car would look nice....
How about someone do a paint job on the car for him.

Yep, Just covered everything that was near with newspaper and then spray painted. I just followed the Tech Mod post on "how to paint your brakes". I might add, paint the first coat very thin and wait for it to dry, DO NOT PUT THICK FIRST COAT, it will be drip and it will look bad.

I think it takes about 3min for each coat to simi-dry , I did each wheel in about 15min, put about 4 coats on. The set of 4 wheels took 2 hrs, as taking the wheels off and putting it back on took ages with those locking nuts, and I haven't got a trolly Jack yet, I should buy one...

It came with the car when I bought it.

I think the price on AMC should be accurate. try that out.

Hey dude, TButcher, I like the tinted Front lights, but not soo much the front grill, I've got some ideas I want to try out for the grill, hear me out:

1) Remove the stock grill and mesh it with fine black mesh.
2) *got this Idea from GamiSou* make a Tri-Diamond cut out with frosted or luminous plastic (saw some in Auto Barn) and put some red LEDs behind them or on the sides so it will luminate.
3) spray paint the radiator silver to reflect more light outwards.

we're heading dangerously into Rice world here,

4) at the same time, add Washer LEDs and Shark Fins just behind the side indicators (also red in colour)

Now we're really in the Rice world

5) put one of those LED Exhaust caps over the exhaust tip, (it flash red when you have flow through it)

To finish it off
6) 4 red LED tyre valve caps.

Now we've got a magna that will look like a plane on the high way at night.
