looks good great pics. not a huge fan of the headlights but props for doing it. have u considered getting led tail light bulbs to produce more light? Thats what I would do? just my 2 cents. Hope the cops don't give you problems.

they came out good, I've been wanting to do mine for a while but worried the paint strokes won't come out even =/

i like it...but how did u get the headlights so even??? those curves are hard to do.

Post by **chattowncoupe** » Sun Sep 13, 2009 6:11 am

yeah i did look into getting the led taillights but i didnt wanna drop the extra cash just to make it a lil brighter... and i just taped off the headlights with electric tape and took my time and was very careful/precise to get them as even as i could and they came out great in the end.

how much

Post by **chattowncoupe** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 5:41 pm

well i paid 800 for em a few months ago in the condition they are in (couple have curb rash and havnt gotten around to getting them fixed(guy quoted me 25 bucks a wheel)) and put tires on them recently not even gonna mention what that cost... what do you think would be fair for both of us?

Post by **PHENOMenalVinyl** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 7:58 pm

s*** ur rims are scratched the f*** up ...... looks great but the prob is you used the hobby paint which i know "from experiance" chips pretty easily sooo idk u might wanna clear it after and as long as it holds w/e but wen it gets s***ty go get nite shades

Post by **chattowncoupe** » Tue Sep 15, 2009 6:02 am

yah i can already tell its not gonna last. where can i find night shades?

Post by **chattowncoupe** » Tue Sep 15, 2009 1:07 pm

im getting the rims sanded down and refinished to fix the scratches and getting them painted black (in the shop right now) so im gonna go ahead and keep these rims unless your wanting to pay somewhere around 1500 for them with tires.
