Default Blacked out!

Well, I finally got around to snapping a couple of pix today of the rearend entirely blacked out. I received the tail light and front turn signal covers for Christmas, then got with Greg (Gst20Psi) to finish it off by getting the back up and third brake light covers.

I have to give outstanding props to Greg. He was great to deal with and even sent me a replacement free of charge and shipping for the third brake light cover. I thought it seemed a little too large (for mine anyway) and Greg said go ahead and try it and if it didn't work, he'd replace it free of charge. I put it on but it came off a day or two later. Sent Greg an email and within a few days I had a replacement. Sanded it just a touch and it has been on for about two weeks now. Thanks Greg!

I also got the tint job a little over a month ago but haven't posted any pix of it. I guess it's time to change my sig pic as well.

Anyway, here's a couple of shots from this afternoon...

Nothing is more stunning than a well detailed, black automobile.
