alright, so i finally decided that this is most likely suitable for a new thread in the project section.

Things to accomplish:
Black interior
tint tail lights
del sol front end conversion with home-made body kit
mugen rear lip/ maybe a custom rear bumper.. who knows.
Bixenon HIDs
trunk pop
fiberglass center console
kickpanels/doorpods
GET MOTOR RUNNING!
zex cam
eagle rods
new pistons (not sure which ones yet)
turbo... maybe?
new suspension/ drop it 2 inches
and finally a fresh coat of single stage black

here's what she looks like now







pics of interior and my freshly tinted tails coming soon

 

Del sol front end.......that should look sick.

 

alright.. so she already looks better with the tails out


i decided to take several pics of the process of tinting the tails
left one is wet sanded, right still needs to be done


here's how far i am now, and its time to decide how dark i wanna go. im thinking a couple more layers after i use 2000 grit to wet sand down any high points.


how they look on the car


should i just black them out?

 

Dude, those ricer tail lights look 1000000000000x better smoked like that!

 

black them out!

i also think you should paint the window trim black

 

yeah, the window trim is next on my list.. i think i might try to do it tonight... or at least tape it off tonight.

is it normal for the vht spray tint to look purple? does it cure black?

 

got the front end on yet??

 

omg that muffler!!!!

 

that's odd. see how it looks once it cures.

 

no, the front end isnt on yet... im still gathering a bunch of little things like the headlights and the brackets for the fog lights. i like to have all my materials ready, that way i dont have to stop and be interrupted.

what about the muffler?... i know it sticks out... ALOT... but im gonna cut it off and reweld it shorter when i get the rear bumper completely done.. or is it the fact that you dont see that many apexi N1 exhausts with the ATS installed?
