I think I'll switch it up and go with the clear lenses. It will look good with my HID's. I was looking around ebay and they sell all aluminum radiators for like $70. A stock one with the plastic tanks is like $100 and the aluminum looks better. I just wonder if the fitment will be like stock and if it will have any adverse effects on my cooling system, like running too cool. Has anyone ever messed with one?

Ok it been a while, but in case anyone was wondering, but I did get her all put back together and road worthy. I'll be painting all day tomorrow and saturday. It has a white hood on it right now and the fender and bumper is in black primer. I'm going to go ahead and repaint the whole thing "Nighthawk Black Pearl". It's gonna be sick! Insted of the grenada black I was running before. Nighthawk has a blue pearl in it that makes it look like an insanely DARK blue in the sunlight. I am debating on if I should paint the door handles and door trim as well. Does anyone know if it will adhere well to that plastic?

A few new additions are the front and rear CTR lip and new headlights. Pics tomrrow!!!

just sand the parts and for best stick use some plastic promoter on the parts before ya paint them. i think the can was about 20bucks....
this is the stuff my paint shop recommended to me for my bumper cover.


JUST REMEMBER BEFORE YA PAINT THE BUMPER COVER YOU ALSO NEED TO PROMOTE IT ALSO SINCE ITS PLASTIC ALSO

i wish i sprayed my bumper cover before i primered it because now i have to sand the whole thing down bare

Alright good to know. Would it be bad to get spray that anywhere else on the car? I mean am I going t o have to take all the moldings and door handles out and individually spray them or could I just spray over them while theyre still on the car?

for the best job always remove the parts and paint seperate. because if your door handle or something ever shift youll have a ugly paint ring.... tho i dont see it bad for any thing else so it shouldnt hurt if you do paint them on the car.... but if your doing a full paint job go the extra mile.
