I like the color matched bumper on the 2geez.

One of these days, I'm going to buy one (an SE-i of course)

Yeah the colormatched make the car look so much more high-end than with the black bumpers. The black bumpers just look cheap.

Gotta say, the smoked lights look really good. Almost tempting to try it out... Not like I couldn't buy a new set of those taillights on eBay for $10. Theres ALWAYS a ton of those tails on eBay for some reason.

Anybody ever find any clear corners or clear bumper lights for these? Or know any bumper lights that might fit in?

yeah, clear bumper lights would be nice.

yeah those tails took a TON of work. i used a different type of paint on teh black peices than i did on teh coloured lenses. masked it all off, the pic does no justice on the detail work i did. keeping the reverse light from getting sprayed was a PITA!!! but all in all it turned out good.

dont mind the peice that has black paint flaking.... that was one of the first peices i did and i didnt prep it first so it didnt stick so well.
i didnt respray therub strip on the rear bumper either, cause the bumper is sorta warped in a few places.

URBAN DICTIONARY FTW!!!!!

When the steering wheel was first put into use in automobiles, it was called the "whip". The whip is what you used to control the horses on a stagecoach, hence the analogy.

BTW, i want your wheels. W00T

you talkin bout the spot on the passenger side? i was PISSED, heads where gunna roll. someone started that with there door while i was at work. that car was spotless when i picked it up, cept the header panel. i photoshopped the rust off of the headerpanel for some of those pics.

You better get that fixed before it gets worse, otherwise, it's going to start looking like my car.

sick all around..what kind of paint did u use on tha lights?

Coy

the paint used on the lights was VHT nighshade. you can get it at O'Reilleys, but it will more than likely be a special order item.

the rust will be taken care of ASAP, without a doubt. alot of things will be happening with this car in about a month or so.
