Ed, your car is by far one of my favorites.

Well done sir. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/applause.gif

dude love that storm trooper helmet at the track picture, laughed so hard my gf thought I was chocking on my coffee

 

Glad to see the ssr's back on there, they go perfect with that paint.

Thanks Sean, and I'm glad someone got a laugh from the Stormtrooper helmet pic. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif The event was held around Halloween, and my friend's GF brought the helmet as a gag. I had to put it on, it was practically calling to me. I'm also really happy I got to keep the SSR's as well. The TSW's are cool looking wheels and wider than the SSR's, but they looked out of place on the car.

This is what I want 711/1 to look like one day! Love the new paint, jdm bumper and hood, and the '93 lights with the smoked tails! Everything is flawless and makes me wanna paint mine so bad but it'll have to wait because of priorites. Great job on everything! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/applause.gif

Quoting SleepinGVR4:
How did you smoke your taillights?


The shop did it when they painted the car, but I'm not sure exactly how they did it. I think they might have used a heavily diluted paint to darken the lenses, or at least that's what I thought my buddy said. Maybe someone with body shop experience can chime in on this.

There is a guy close to me that does tail light tinting. He uses vinyl material.

More pictures. One of my roommates likes to take pics, so we and a friend with a 93 TSi/AWD headed out to give her some stuff to practice shooting.
