Feb-10-08 01:13 PM by Blakkjak

          

Been on this website for a while and I hardly post but I wouldnt know what I do today without this website.

Anyway enough with the mushy stuff I picked up some Tan leathers (FINALLY)and Changed my paint back to black and got around to installing the Grill, I still need to install the foglights and rewire some stuff.







RIDIN DIRTY


Would these work better?



Would these fogs work?

I think Black wheels on a black Car look awesome, But I think the Yellow fog lights may pull All the attention directly to them....I dont know about yellow.

i wouldnt use the fogs man. you dont have anything else yellow on the front so it would look wierd. if you want yellow fogs go with clear lenses and get some yellow bulbs.

Nice 2g bro!

Only thing im not feeling is the rear bumper, but other then that your car is hot! As for the rims, I think they'd work and the fog lights...ehh..you should get just the bulbs.

I have bulbs that im waiting to put on, but the screws to take them out are fucked up so I havnt gotten them on.

Where did you get the grill? I want to do that I just dont know where to get it or how to properly put it on.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions, I'll try to see if I can find some bulbs for the foglights and as for the rear bumper I used to have a body kit and was just unable to relocated my stock rear...I dont think it looks that much different then stock anyway.

For the grill I ordered this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=350012179950&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=022

And bought the cheapest glue gun at walmart and went to work, the center is held up by 4 zip ties at the top.

My rims just arrived so im going to give her a good detailing and see how they look, Update soon..

the car looks really good, like the others said, i wouldnt use the fogs, or atleast yellow ones. If i were you, if get a new set of headlights, yours look faded.

Thank you mobil one for rust proofing my driveway.

I'm amazed no one's told you to toss away that rear bumper.

I'd just do that, use regular foglights, and possibly get some new headlights.

Looks good though.

Link the grill is a few post up.

Took a couple more today.















I had a hard time finding everything for the stock fog lights, so I decided to try something different after seeing a few pictures from other members.

Hide the fogs behind the mesh or scrap them. Perhaps put that money you save on fogs into a fund to do an hid retrofit???


Your car looks pretty sweet as is. The only thing hurting it is the lack of sideskirts. Your bumpers hang lower than the body. I think 2gb skirts or even 2gb talon skirts would pull everything together.

Goodnight sweetheart...yes its time to go...bum bum bum bum bum...good night sweetheart yes I am one little a$$hole......bum bum bum bum....
