That looks great lowered. The best thing you have done to that car though is replacing the taillights. All around awesome job.

Thank you!! The tails that were on it when I got it did suck. I do still have them. Thought someone somewhere might be interested in them. The lights on the car now are from the 95 gt that I had once upon a time. They looked like crap and were very "frosty." If anyone has had a set sitting around, you know what i mean. Im glad I kept them. Did a little work to them and they look perfect.

Yeah you really did a great job. My buddy had a 96 gt with those lights and we blacked them out. It takes away the "ricer" look IMO and the tint is cheaper than replacing the taillights if you don't have them laying around.

I thought about tinting the ricer lights and keep the vertical look that I love so much, but I wanted to try tinting the horizontal lights. Havent really seen them blacked out before. Glad I did.

Did you paint the car, or just polish it out? It looks tons better than when you first got it. Beautiful car though, good work.

Yeah +1 for originality. I haven't seen those tinted but I really like it.

Thanks again people. Thought it was about time I start working on it again, so much that I took a week off this week to start working on the turbo install. However like with most things I get side-tracked....

While I was taking things apart, I thought to myself, the alternator looks "crappy." Knew I wanted to remove it anyways to make the install a bit easier so out it came, and apart it came lol. Broke it down and started cleaning/polishing it. No real clue what im going for. Either polish it completly or smooth it out and paint it black. The metal is extremely pitted so its going to be awhile either way.
