Wheels: First I cleaned and degreased them, then lightly sanded them and filed down curb rash
Primered
I didn't want to be like everyone else and have black wheels (no offense) I wanted to be slightly different. I bought VHT "Cast Iron" Engine paint and Clear coat, the color has a little sparkle to it, Looks amazing in the light or up close.
After a couple coats of paint and clear
Then did the same to center caps then painted the Diamond "Ferrari Red" with model paint then cleared it

Old Grille
Took an 89 Grille buffed the emblem to remove oxidation, then taped off the chrome and painted it the remaining areas (it was very faded)

Im a little OCD. I took all bolts (literally all of them and treated them in a rust remover bath that didnt harm them but removed all rust) later repainted every bolt.

More photo whoring:
This is how the car sits now: I added a JDM keyless gas door, and removed the non-power antenna. I bought an ebay eclipse power antenna and had to do alot of mod-ing to make it fight just right. I bought a set of 91 taillights buffed them along with all other signals, etc
