thanks guys, the reason they arent painted yet is the quote to fix and paint just the skirts and mirrors was 600$, i just graduated college and ive just been collecting parts till i can afford it.

There are a lot of plans for the car just not the money for now.

they superglued the end cap on, there are a few nicks and gouges out of them, but the big thing is at the bottom pinch weld area, they had the svt jacked up on stands and it crushed a bunch of the plastic on them and they look like SHIT, which pissed me off because they were MINT when i paid for them, and got trashed during dis assembly... i wasnt happy

ah another blacky. i like it. especially the interior. i wanna paint mine too. did you paint the gauge bezel thing too, looks darker. you do your lights yourself.

you could try repairing the stuff yourself. just take your time. if you can't afford paint there's no hurry.

hey, yeah another black car... i didnt paint my gauge bezel at all it just looks way darker in the pics for some reason.

Ive thought about fixing some stuff myself but really just dont have the time or equipment to do it id rather a pro do it.

yeah i wasnt the first to do the headliner or pillars but one of a limited few who re-wrapped it not just sprayed it... but i like it, people compliment it...

but i was just at pick-n-pull and got a black radio surround so that will be nice
