Haha yes it gets worse, might look okay if painted though.

Finally got the dx into my friends body shop.We got the body kit all lined up and put some strong brackets on it.Made it good an sturdy.Taped it off and sanded down real good.Compressor went out so cant spray till 2morrow.
cant wait to see the finished product!
he got everything based yesterday and cracks in front bumper showed through so hes got to redo front bumper but i did get a pic of it with the base coat on it today.And no the wing next to it is the paint mans.I traded him both my wings for the paint job plus a 100.00 for materials.

Holly wings I just saw this thread.
I see that scoop is still on even when it's getting painted and I doubt you ever got a weber 38. You put the spoiler on it because teens liked it and you thew a body kit on because it was sitting in your back yard.. I can't help but wonder why it was there at the first place.
Anyway.. The more I remember my first car, the more I think I shouldn't be talking too much. LOL.
I bought the body kit for like a 100.00 so I really couldnt pass it up.too good of a deal.I cant afford a new weber so I have checked a the local junkyards.just checked the day be4 yesterday as a matter of fact they dont want to sell them if they do have em I did find a dx with a blowed engine but a good carb said he would let me have it for 50.00.I did buy the fins and put them on but it didnt take me long to realize that they dont look very good on a 3 gee.I would take a factory lid spoiler.over the old shopping cart handle any day lol.no I am not getting the top painted so I figure I will wait until car comes back from paint to remove hood scoop.

Ok that's understandable.. At least you got rid of the wing and decided to get rid of the scoop. I think it will look nice with the body kit after the paint job.
just got the dx back from paint turned out looking great now all I got to do is get some black mesh for the bumper take off the scoop and I thinks itll be good.
looks good bro. put the grill and markers back on. and get some wheels for it

good luck with that black.. our old body panels+black..= major ripple and shows everything else..ha.. thats the only thing i hate about my black.. but ohwell..
one day I'll return.
Doesn't look too bad (except for the hood scoop), personally I would have painted the body kit the same color as the car its self- ya know kept it a single tone, plus the oem black looks nice ^_^ Would look sweet all black with some black rotas, but thats just my 2 cents lol
But as it is (MINUS the ugly hood scoop of course) it might not look bad with a good set of silver or black rims.
Can't say I like it, but the paint looks like it went on smooth. Good luck with it.
yeah that really was the way I wanted was one color but the paint thats on the top half was done by some1 else be4 I got the car it is a black that shifts to purple depending on how the light hits it and whoever did it put a butload of flake in the clear coat.So the guy said anything he mixed couldnt match it exact.So we decided to 2 tone it.Cause the top half is still nice shape a good buff will make it really pop that will be next on the list.
I helped paintman make brackets and fit the parts on then he sanded sealed,primed and painted and clear coated it for $200.00.and a spoiler
considering how great it turned out I am estatic.
but in the future i may have top done silver starting to like the silver
i dont like the wing
yeah get some mesh to cover up thoes holes

I got the scoop off today and I stuck on the wheels on that I had on the white honda a while back I think they look okay I mean they arent spectacular or nothing but it needed tires and the ones on these rims were still in good shape and it helped raise car up a lil bit so it wont drag.
Now as soon as buisness picks up ill get some mesh for holes and a new grille also got to get some carb parts I figured out what was wrong with mine but a lot of junkyards around here wont sell the carb.

Uh put the stealies back on till you get a nice set of rims for it.at least 17's with the kit..And id would probably put silver mesh in it. you dont want to many colors goin everywere threw it. but its not bad..The tires and rims is whats goin to make it look different.
How much you got in the car all together now?
And dont you think you need to get the carb issue fixed
? Before you try to sell it
eww 17s ftl

i'd agree with CAH but in this case the wheels look way too small on the car with that kit so yea u should get a bigger set of rims. that paint job turned out to be nicer than i thought, too!
