Thats right.
I know lots of guys have done this mod and i think it looks sleak. I have 2001 headlights and looking for pics of guys with 2000-2002k style headlights.

Thanks!

the corners i bought off ebay a loooong time ago when they first came out. I actually need another set, hope i can get another with the clear lense as opposed to the black ones.

Thanx for the comments ppl

Don't mind the winter saltiness and my unlatched hood-

^ Un-latched??? That sure looks latched to me...

But, if ya want criticism, ... The bumper is sagging below the pass HL, the black HL's don't go well with the amber corners & fogs (HL's shoulda been amber too...), yall have some white spots on the front bumper, your inside mirror looks like it's pointing at RHD...



Say, ya already sent that X-Mod steering arm to me right?? If not, I retract my previous statements...

Yeah I ended up changing pics after posting the first one, I deleted it and uploaded one with the same name. It is latched in the pic shown, however since this forum lacks editing options, what you see is what you get.

You're right about the bumper, it's my winter bumper and was backed into last winter hence the sagging. Good thing I'm smart and put it on, eh . White spots, try salt. It is Michigan. As for the mirror, that's where it is daily, I really don't consider it an exterior mod as to which way it's aiming, I prefer when looking out of it that is is centered in the back window though.

.....and yes the steering arm is on the way, in a Christmas card at that, but only because that's the only envelope I could find....@!#$ .

Yea, I figured the white stuff was either snow or salt. I mean, who the hell would want to hump your car?! j/k, my poor Ashley was molestered (haha, South Park) by Hypsy. She's in therapy now Mirror thing is weird, I have mine centered too, but yours looks like it's centered for the passenger?? I dunno, maybe it's just a bad pic or something.

I got home from work and went upstairs (happens extremely rarely BTW haha) b/c my sis was home with her fairly new puppy (Yorkie Poo, cute but not what I'd like - Dobie or even Mini Pinscher) and dad said "You have a Christmas card over here" and I thought Who sent me an XMas card?! Then saw "JoeDM" in the upper left and felt the control arm. It took a coupla minutes to get it in b/c I didn't feel like taking the front suspension off, but it's in now. Gives me a reason to finally start making the new chassis too - after I figure out what body I want to run. I'm leaning towards the 1/24 Vette Stingray cuz it'd be hella-hawt, but that'll be a major PITA b/c the steering servo won't fit under the cowl I'll probably end up doing the Earnhardt that I told ya about, or a Hemi Cuda

IMO, flat black looks a lot better than gloss black. Gloss would probably work on a black car tho...
