looks good, I like the smoke lenses and the 3 piece tail....hate the wipers though man, sorry.

Gotta get rid of the sawblades too, or at least strip em and polish em.

yea i dunno about the wipers. they work alot better than stockers tho. and trust me.. i need rims bad lol. how do i go about stripping and polishing them? maybe it will look a bit better?

Does anybody know how you smoke those taillights?

newbsupra · 07-26-2006, 05:21 AM

well i do, since i did it to my car :P all i did was mask them off with tape.. and newspaper.. and at a local auto store, they sell a can of "Smoke lens spray" and you just spray on a few coats. only costed me $13.50

and weezl, i started stripping the paint off my stock rims.. but i dont want to use the wire brush because it will scratch up the surface

and it seems there's a bit of stuff that wont come off, or do i just let it sit longer? its also tough to do the edges.. im gonna try and put a thick coat of the stripper on tommorow, then go to the car wash and pressure spray it and see what happens.. i was also thinking of painting the center cap black? not sure how it would look tho, any suggestions on what else i could do to the sawblades?

Thanx for tellin me how to smoke those. I painted my stock wheels black and i removed the paint with aircraft remover, it gets everything off really well and you don't ahve to scrape them with anything it all comes off. Spray it on the wheel thoroughly and let it sit for about 3 mins, rinse it off with a high pressure hose you might have to repeat the step one more time to get it all off. Then dry em off really quick and get all the solution off and then you are ready to paint them and then later on throw some clear coat on it and you should be good to go.

For some reason I think it needs something to fill in the grooves on the sides of the car. I like the original moldings but I am sure something can be done. Maybe some accents on the car too, to take away from all that silver, still it does look nice. Lower it and different rims, but that is a lot of money and a different exhaust pipe end would help too.
