From Stock to plasti-dip.. started peeling so peeled it off and dipped dark silver. and calipers were silver at the time





Got my blue interior light kit, plug n play for the old dome lights.



Decided to black out the lights then decided they were too dark, but theres my glory hole aswell lol xD

So this is my first doof up. I was cheap and bought dollar masking tape. I ended up fixing it back white though. I also tried to change the lights in my speedometer and all that stuff to blue via an insructional on here. I broke two clusters and found a black cluster in a junk yard and switched some stuff out and it had green lights s i kept that.

Then i started messing around with the bezel tring different things. And my radio of course which I ended up selling cause kenwoods bluetooth didnt support ios8 devices

Then I bought these rims and tires for 80bucks off my friends tib. They were lighter and 17s.

So i couldnt find any pictures from when I started blacking the car but here come the present paint. i plan on getting the car painted anyway so why not play around with it. and also this time i restored my headlights with 2000 and 1500 sand paper soapy water and mcguires wax. and put hids in. i know my hoods unevenly painted but im pretty amateur so im still figuring out how to get it to lay properly.. but anyway blacked the bumper front and back. foglights. removed license plate
