I'm about to vinyl wrap this in gloss black. Fingers crossed.

That's an east coast thing. So glad we don't have to deal with that here. Hell we don't even have emissions testing anymore. Statewide. Had to deal with that crap for 25 years prior until last year.

Jealous of the no emissions. My 99 is not so registered right now because it cooked an O2 wire on the header and I've yet to fix it. I keep saying "this weekend" and they keep ripping by.

Some imperfections on the corners but this was some really really cheap vinyl, we're talking a third the cost of proper 3M, but just wanted to experiment for my first time. Happy enough with it to give me an idea of how my car will look. I'm going to do the halo bar this weekend as well.

Stopped by the body shop on my way home this morning. Mechanical is done, just needs fluids and an alignment, then they'll finish putting it back together for final cut and buff. Crossing my fingers I'll have it back by the end of the month.
Had them install my dewitts radiator and fan kit while the front end was off. Sorry for the out of focus pic but it focused on the sway bar.

Looking good so far Mark! Is your rear wheel actually on top of that other car!?

On a much happier note, I'm going to be retired as of November 15th. I will have everyday a Saturday so I'll be able to spend good quality time with it. Getting it back around that time will be perfect timing.

I'm digging them. You can't even tell they're tinted when the lights are on.
One thing is that due to the tigershark design, I can't see the bottom drl but the smaller LED side strip still works for the turn signal. (along with my switchback strip)

Why do I crave grape frost Powerade when I see your car, Mark?

CONGRATS!! That's really awesome. I still have a long way to go. Guess you'll have plenty of time to edit your video of all the work that's been done.
