What do u guys think of the look i am gonna do this weekend? i am painting the bottom black trim all round and leaving that dark red colour on the middle trim. painting the wheels black with polished lip and tinting my fog lights just a tad to give a subtle look. i photoshopped a pic before and after lemme know what u guys think.

Looks nice ... except the headlights look broken.

i would paint the side mouldings also..i hate the dark coloured strip....very outdated look....

i think the stripes give it somewhat a functional look. i dunno i'm debating weither or not to do it. hey jekyl and hyde. i guess u dont like the sleepy eye look aye? or are they closed too much?

JekylandHyde · 07-13-2005, 01:26 PM

Yeah, I was teasing you

The sleepy eye look is okay if you go with the smaller lights.
I am more interested in function than form.

As long as you are happy, ignore me.
I'm just another stupid goober on the Internet with an opinion

^^^ NEVER ignor this man... he knows ALL that is douce!!!

as for the side moldings... rip'em off!!! (don't) I had a hell of a time trying to fill mine and make everything look smooth for paint

numbone · 07-13-2005, 04:36 PM

lol hell no. i'd never ignore jeff's opionion the bastard knows his stuff

If this is what you're thinkin ... its hot, the black line looks good imho

numbone · 07-14-2005, 06:38 PM

ah yes there ya go very functional and full look. i like those old skool wheels u got there dude. i'm goin for the clear corner lights aswell and eventually might go for 94 tail lights.

I agree with mrQturbo, I'd paint the side moldings as well. If you had a darker colored mkII, it'd be fine. Red mkII's look much better without the black mouldings. The wheels look great with black and a polished lip. On a red mkII, I believe the amber lenses look better than clear as well. Just my opinion, nothin more, nothin less.

MR-355-5sfTe · 07-15-2005, 01:20 PM

I kinda like the blacked-out turn signals in contrast to the red paint... especially with my black wheels

numbone · 07-15-2005, 06:37 PM

lol just made it to the store before they closed at 6 by the time i got home its raining hard. we have tropical storms going on at the moment. ah well i'll either wait for the rain to slow down or wait for my bro to bring the key for the garage. woooo saaa patience.
