I decided on which skirts I will buy. I found them on 50resto. I was going to buy a new wiper cowl, too. I was right @ where you put in your credit card info. The body shop, where me car was @, called. I completely forgot I would owe them! I went to pick her up and she's works great! I owed him $449. I cannot believe I forgot that key part! Maybe I can go ahead and buy the cowl, maybe those Stalker skirts next month!

I am having my rack & pinion and light bar put on the 30th.

The cowl just really looks bad! It's very faded, which can be painted. I don't know how to explain the worst part. If it had a clear coat, it's like it's flaking off. Like I said, I cannot think up how to type it. I am too busy buying goodies for me car. I still am w/o a camera! I just need another 3 months, about. I have made a note to myself not to show pics of it until I get it repainted. I will get some of the inside when I get my light bar put on though. I might snap 1 with my tails. I have to just show the better parts.

thats easy dude, just go get some really fine grade sandpaper and sand it down a little, then paint it. it will look better and cost you less than buying a new one. eventually im gonna paint mine so it looks glossy black like the rest of the car (of course, the car itself doesnt even look glossy black, its more of a ashy black, but you get the picture)

Get a bottle of paint deoxidizer and see if that fixes the problem.... thats what I used on the black trim on my cobra. Came out great.... Doesn't look brand new, but thats not what I was going for. Just wanted to clean it up and make it look better.

My best friend/cousin is a painter. He says my paint's too far gone! I am not sure what y'all are talking about fixing though. I have a new front bumper, hood, and a 281 wing to go on. My wiper cowl needs to be replaced. It's not worth trying to save it.

I'm thinking y'all understood me wrong. I don't have a camera!!! I will snap a couple with my cell phone after I get my light bar put on though.

There needs to be a 'Members Suck W/O a Camera!' thingy! See ya!!
