Here are some pics would love to get some thoughts and some ideas. Also just got the taillights tinted yesterday going to get the 3rd brake light and reverse lights on monday. Really thinking about a Black racing strip but not sure to many mixed reviews on it.
thanks Steve

Gonna tint the windows to go with the tinted tails? Just a thought. Looks good so far though.

For a little while I was thinkin about an offcentered thin black stripe down the left of the top, a buddy of mine did it to his grand am and it looked cool, if you do the stripe as a decal you can always remove it if you dont like it, but lookin good so far

The guy who has a shop down the road from my fathers shop does it and he did it for free. Just gotta buy him lunch and a Corona lol.
Here are some pics of the interior i am sure you all know what they look like but anyways.Image
As far as the subs and amp i got all this for free when there was a mustang we did an engine for the guy couldnt pay sold us the mustang and it had a whole system set up in it so i just got to get my aftermarket radio and i will be all set. For being only 2 10 in they hit pretty good.

to be honest, i never liked the way the red gp's looked, but yours def. has changed my mind. car looks very clean. i'd tint the windows, the headlights (1 shade, very light tint), and get that s/c polished. you're car would be sex then, and anything after that would just be that much better

well thanks I love this car and try to keep it clean with 2 2yr olds driving in it everyday to school. S/c polished how would u do that? thanks for the advice and i didnt no you could tint the headlights. I do have slight oil coming up from the intake i belive it coming from the bolts but i do have another lower intake ready that i have ported and polished so when i pull that off i plan on painting the s/c and valve covers so that would brighten up the engine bay alot.

-- Sun Aug 28, 2011 8:29 pm --

anybody have a picture of racing strips on a red one thanks

my terminology could be off, but check out some of the pictures here: appearance-f14/gr8racingfool-customer-appreciation-thread-t19186.html to give you an idea

thats a backburner kind of thing.

your car really is clean dude, i still can't get over how good that car looks in red.


for the headlights, this guy locally sanded mine down and mixed clear with black paint and went over it. you can kind of notice it here the first day mine were done:
http://a4.l3-images.myspacecdn.com/imag ... 630b/l.jpg

i went a bit too dark though, thats 2 coats. unless i keep my H.I.D's, its a tad bit dim at night with them tinted like that. something lighter would look good to go with the color scheme of your car.

Well first off being greese monkeg and all :). Your MAF sensor is WAY to close to the engine. It'll read you higher temp.s which will kill some HP- you may want to dresses that issue. Try to run the ignition wires over the dogbone if you can and the negative to your battery needs cleaning... I think that all :D

Oh... Wait. Give the guy another corona for the reverse bar to tint :P

Over all it's a nice clean car :)

No problem, came out sick looking :). You could also try out the Home depot lip too. Would be a nice finishing touch for the front
