Starting to clean her up....
Saturday, May 17, 2008 9:40 PM
So I'm hitting heavy on fixing all the little things with this car. A set of eBay headlights was what i've started out with. Took a while and they still need some adjusting, but I am happy with the results! Soon i'll spray the stock corners amber and see how that looks on there. for now though, I'll sport the all black look! Check out these couple quick snapshots....







Still have a long ways to go. Hopefully to be done before the JBOM BBQ!!!

FYI if you get up under your front bumper, there's enough room to drill screws through your lip and into the bottom of the bumper that cant be seen from the front. I had to to it on mine and it never came loose ever again.

in my mind, i always thought the amber would look killer on a yellow car. I'll try it and see, if i don't like it, meh, i can always put the black ones back in!

You can also take the bumper off, then fasten the lip to it if that makes it easier.

i used small bolts that i could put a nut on that way i knew it wouldnt shimmy loose. i considered a self tapping screw but after a while i imagine that the threads it creates in the bumper could wear out and then fall apart again.

Special thanks to Rob Weis (RobsCavZ24). Helped me with the car yesterday. Sunroof is at least in it's proper place, side molding it removed and the toyo tails are in! Check it out. i took a few quick snapshots!







There is still a large amount of glue left over from the side molding. A friend of mine is helping me detail it and clean it up but unfortunately it won't be before the JBOM BBQ so i'll have to show up with the glue still on the car. Other than that, the only other thing to fix is the front lip!

See you guys at the BBQ!

I would leave the lights that way they are, IMO Amber would not go good with the brightness of your car.
