Eli you should get 1stof3 center caps for your rims .......you have an awesome looking car have you thought about getting black lug nuts ....or air brushing the pony emblem in the grill black so it has a more 3d affect

I used to have custom centercaps. Thought that was maybe too much with my 1STOF3 though. I do have black lug nuts:

That running pony in my grill is good enough. My cousin is pretty great with an airbrush, so maybe later. I had my car away for 227 days! I'm just glad to have it back. I'll take that & put some more thought into it, though!

I just thought my build thread should have been so much better, sorry! If it was near me, I'd go take pics of it everyday. I bought disposable cameras to be used. Right before my car got started, my cousin had a huge family prob! It was to the point I didn't even know if my car would get done. That plans I made of them taking a pic kinda went away! I did as good as I could do. Not good in my eyes, but that's normal! Thanks though!!

dude your car looks amazing in those pics.


just for the record I think the ABC bumper works perfectly with the stock side skirts, more so than the ABC skirts.

new pics look great, I still think you should find a way to keep those seats. They look badass in the car.

Thanks!! I think I am done with those seats, though. They will have my stockers look just as nice. Plus they will actually fit like they are supposed to. Serves me right for not knowing more!!

I'm not too good @ getting videos. Can you give me some of what you'd like to see? If I have a a game plan, I can follow it.

like i was saying in the other thread man i don't see why it should cost you more money if they added those stripes without your consent. I'd take it back to them and explain you don't like it and request they fix it for free, they can't just add stuff to your car without your approval.

Re: My car's makeover, the interior's kinda done? 5/29

Yep, true. I am not supposed to tell y'all how much I paid. For what I paid, this is OK for now! I didn't really pay that much @ all! Josh knows I am not happy with it, there just wasn't time to redo anything! I bought that new hood because that 1 they did was just terrible. If y'all think how unhappy I am with the sides, nothing compared to the hood design! So much I will never, hopefully, show it to y'all!! I know that the day I picked my car up, the hood was painted the day before. I can live with the sides. They would be fine if I had never seen what I wanted done to it. These look fine, I just wanted better.

I could be a loose cannon, if I could act like I wanted!! I have no patience, am very impulsive, & a quick temper!! I can either be that way, or mellowed the way I have been through this ordeal. It's taking all I can muster not to just cause WW III, inside I'm that upset. I settle down & rethink it to realize it is just paint! It can be redone. I am doing this through that school so all I pay for is the paint. Josh throws in everything else. Because of that, feel like I really can't be too mad.

It can all be redone! Sure, it should have been done right the 1st time, but it wasn't! I've got way too much real drama in my life that to get worked up over this. This is how I deal with stuff now.

Coming from you, means a lot! I told you a long time ago if my car came out 1/4 of yours, I'd be happy! Guess I should take my own medicine & quit whining!!! Forgot all about that 'til I started typing that.

Can't get too upset w/them. They may have done the wrong scheme, still looks pretty sweet. Josh painted like the hard layer of the tri-coat. Other than that, the 2 kids did it all!! They stay slammed @ the school that did it. It was there a long time, so was the other projects. Not like nothing was going on during that time. I was in there when the school year just got going. Every space had a car in it. I was there almost @ the end. It was mine, that Jeep, & that VW Bug!

Oh yeah, that Chevelle/Olds/Buick was a student's car. It was just in there having something small fixed. I'm not sure where this was asked, even why that just came to me!! It did though, so I typed it!
