Got Alot Accomplished Today...Pics! (56k...Who actually still has 56k? lol)

Finally got a day off today after working 9 in a row... Finally got to spend some time working on my car...

Tinted my tails with Niteshades
Chrome door handle inserts

I apologize in advance for the filthy car, its due for a good detail and poslishing but its been raining every other day here in Philly...

Nice work
thanks... Your help in the middle of the install was great, I appreciate it. I ran it to the rear blinker also... the only difference is I sodered the connections instead of tapping...

Honestly, Hand polishing wont get ride of those scratches, prolly going to have to use a rotory and rubbing compound it and then then a good swirl remover.

Yeah... but not completely... there are alot of TL's here that are all blacked out so I have a little different idea, but I wont get too much into detail until I talk to the bodyshop but I def have something different in mind.

Making an appointment to get the car polished by a UDM...

also the tails arent as shiny as I want so Im gonna wetsand and hit them with some scratch x before buffing them up. I'll post more pics after the detail and fixing the tails.

U&C, nice job! A murdered NBP is always sweet! The chrome handles gives you just enough subtle contrast-looks great!

You might consider some black wheels later on!
