Also note the debadge/rebadge attempt. Nasty fading underneath so i have to think of something to do with that. still thinking of getting a new bootlid anyway, this one has seen better days. looking for a bootlid from a verada with spoiler, as i already have the lights to match the garnish

Looks good :D The only thing now is that the corner lights look wierd... Mine are exactly the same... They need to be darker.

Those rims really suit 2nd Gens. How do you find those tyres for stickiness?

looking good man.

Do those tailights normally have the chrome strip??
Might get some and tint them, they look good as do para's

front tyres are excellent. Especially in the wet. I find it very difficult to get them to let go in the dry. Back left tyre needs to be replaced. it is a well used bridgestone 092 and its had it. the other side is a Goodyear Eagle so im going to get one more of those.

Very impressed with the front dunlops though

might dont have the chrome strip, but some do. I believe the rear lights from Magna Elite (which is the ones i have) dont have the chrome strip, but the veradas do

TR/KR's has the chrome strip
TS/KS's had a black strip across the light.

One damn clean 2nd gen.

TR GLX, SE and Verada EI have the strip, all others including TR Elite do not have the strip

thanks for the nice comments! and its a WIP ok!

do something about the indicators, will look 10x better!

I don't think anyone's quite nailed the clear blinkers with parras look yet, Kim has probably come the closest, but I think perhaps it needs a black/charcoal border on the inside of the lense to really fit in.
As you've gotten rid of the orange plastic, I assume(?!) you pulled the lenses apart to do this, so the same sort of process to try to spray inside the lense. I don't think it needs a major border, just like 1cm all around should do nicely. Worth a try for $2 worth of paint.

Black tinted indicators look great with paras but only if you have a charcoal/black paintjob (like mine :D), but damn Cybermonkeyt, nice clean 2nd gen you got there. Keep the updates rolling!

White car = White indicators
Black Car = black indicators

I think it looks ace as it is.

Really a NICE looking car. Probably increased its resale value too.

i still have some way to go! i need to sort the rear out. paint needs touching up, need spoiler, new muffler, rear bootlid garnish that i already have, but without black number plate garnish. also gotta sort out the fading where the badges were

and i tihnk the indicators look fine, just need silvervision bulbs, but autobarn wanted $50 for a pair :shock:

Super Cheap = $16 a pair

Cybermonkey,
I was in Supercheap today buying some polish (Turtle ice wax rocks by the way), and noticed that they have some stuff for touch ups. It was like a bottle of feaux paint, haha..said you just put it on and it blends in with any colour paint. Eg. the red one blends with any red. Its sposed to cover up scratches and stuff. Looked the goods!

thanks mate i will check it out!

tufftr, i will have a ganders at the huge supercheap in bondi junction tomorrow hehe thanks

Lima - Sure that wasnt turtlewax Colorcure?

that might of been it!!

Metallics may be a bit of an issue though... may have to have a look at them :D

I'm so jealous! Your car is sexy as with those taillights and paras!

I'm aiming for the same thing but I might attempt to match my indicators to the paras somehow.

thanks Jamie :D

I have bought a pair of smoked indicators, so when they turn up this week i will fit them right away. i think they might match the para's better than the current ones
