Very nice.... I think that is a great way to freshen up a car. Turned out really well too, what type of paint did you use?

That looks great! Our cars look sooo much better with fresh looking trim. That's a really creative idea for the masking as well!
I used that Krylon Fusion stuff in satin black when I did my front and rear bumpers.

Man looks worlds better. Almost makes it look like a new car. Amazing what a little elbow grease can do for a car!

Indeed it does. I am hoping i can start to do body work on it, and get it repainted the same color...except without the rock chips and such:Owned:

Thanks! And yes it does, it smoothed out after a good tune up, and fixing all oil leaks.:wave:

I can't feel the engine running when inside the car. I can only feel it when the A/C kicks on because the RPM's rise.
