  • check out my freshly painted nose!

    Got my front end painted and I no longer have to run with the Bra anymore. I found a guy who painted it for 250 bucks. He really did a fantastic job. What do you think?

    Man, it looks great! I need to get mine done like that sometime in the next couple of years. Waaayy too many rock chips and bug gut marks. The only thing I don't like about the idea of getting a part of my car repainted is that it hurts the resale value, or at least the trade-in value.

      Makes me wish my car was silver..... . I always wanted silver, but no silver in 1994.

      I had the hood, nose and tops of fenders done about 3 years ago when I bought the hood. It made the whole car look like new. It's held up pretty good, but I haven't really driven it on the street for the last 2 years.

                  Well with my car the only way to tell it's not stock is if its not running...LOL. So it's pretty much pointless to try to fool anyone.
                  However, I was thinking of getting the same color, but only done REALLY well...(read many many coats) and I'm considering a custom flame job for the nose.

                      Yea, I gotta say, a custom (maybe ghost) flame job and tasteful rims and tires go a long way in my book.

                        Thanks guys. I like the silver too, especially all zainoed up.

                        As far as the liscense plate cover goes, you can pick them up at any auto zone; it called "Dont mess with my liscense plate numbers on the net electrical tape". Surprisingly inexpensive.
