thought i would post this up here since i havent posted here in a while.

i couldnt find a good picture, but you can kind of tell how the molding around my windshield looked silver in this pic.

well, i got tired of it looking like that, but i didnt want to spend $200 to replace it all. so i decided to spray paint it to see what it would look like. first, i masked it all off.

then i ran some 100 grit sand paper of it. then i ran some 600 grit sand paper over it. then i wiped it down with alcohol. then i put 5 coats of "Dupli-Color Trim Paint" on it.

then i took of all the masking and here is how it turned out.

I'm going to guess that he's getting some J-Spec tails, clear/smoked corner lights, and something else I can't think of off the top of my head.

I would add a 99 J-Spec front fascia, rear wing or head lights to that list, maybe any one of those, but probably not all of them because thats a big chunk of money.

all good guesses, all i wished i had coming, but still not right. i spent less money all the things in the four boxes than i would of on a set of jspec tails.

Oh thats right...you're on 3ZC...so with that in mind I'm thinking you're getting some purple neon for under the car, a fake carbon fiber shift nob, crome lug nuts and set of wiper LEDs.
