The car looks nice! It's hard to resist changing things to your own tastes.

"Mods I didnt do."...

For some reason, I had a different vision of what this topic was about...

did you paint the FRC personally, cuz I want to do the same thing (but in red).

Any chance you can give me a step by step of what you did, and what products you used?

Thanks

Most of those mods, I DID myself. You got lucky........

I did my fuel rail covers, chrome letters front & rear. A little more chrome here & there (wheels, emblems front & rear including waterfall, plenum cover) .........Can you tell I like chrome? The car looks sweet & nice color too......

I tried to tell my bank account I haven't done a lot of mods. So far, it doesn't believe me.

Cleaned "obviously"with dawn, then alchahol. I used Krylon Fusion spray paint for plastic, then I went over it with Boyd model car paint to darken it up and as some metalic. I am going to do some air brush work on them or I would have already clear coated them. Prety simple procedure actually, just make sure you use long overlapping strokes and shake the can well and often..Hope this helps..
