Ever consider painting the wiper blades pink as well?

Ever consider painting the wiper blades pink as well?I dont mean to offend anyone with this comment but when I see colored windshield wipers I think Mexican. to me that is probably one of the dumbest and tackiest things you can do to a car except for throwing stupid stickers everywhere (i.e nos,APC, V-tec shit like that)<---when the car has none of them. but hey if you want to paint your wipers or but the ones that are already colored more power to ya.:)

Haha hey now, dont be hatin on windshields, that could add some color, especially if the hood looks plain.

Haha hey now, dont be hatin on windshields, that could add some color, especially if the hood looks plain.I;m only hating on the colored windshield wipers not the actual WINDSHIELD. I myself have a sticker on my windshield. :grinyes:

I'd understand that if it was on a "serious" tuner's car but she's pretty much just going for show purposes and adding color.

Yes I thought about painting the wipers but thought that might look stupid....:lol: I dont want it to look whats the word... oh yea rice..:lol:

A friend of mine said I should paint the grills and the fog light brackets. What you guys think... and hey are you saying my hood looks plain????? :nono: I dont think so..... I have graphics on it... how could it look plain???? :lol:

He also wants me to put some subs in. But I am not sure. I am not sure I want to replace the radio. I am not good with electrical things. :nono:

Like I said... I want to show it so I guess if that is what shows cars do I guess I will have to bite the bullet and do it.... :evillol:

and what do you mean by a "serious" tuners car??? Mine might not be an import but..... she is looking good..... :)

I really think what you should do is tint the windows and throw on those rims you said you have laying around. you would be suprised on how much that will make your call look better. just a thought.

Tint my windows????? I think it is illegal to tint your windows. I know I cant do the drivers side for sure. Or maybe its just a certain level of tint. I will have to look into that. Do they make a hot pink tint??? I will have to do some research. As far as the rims I have to wait for a friend to put them on. They are 18's and I currently have 15's on. So I think I will have to modify the wheel well first. I will be doing them the first part of sept when he has time to help me out. lol

thanks for the idea though...

thanks for the idea though...window tint is not illegal. depends on where you live and what the laws are there. in illinois you can have tint on all windows except the driver and passenger windows. some states allow you to tint all the way around so your just going to have to check. I know they make colored tint havent seen any pink but then again I really had no reason to look for it lol so just look around and im sure you can find it. but I think limo tint would look really good on your car IMO.

as far as the rims you are not going to have to do any modification at all. now if you were going to put 22'' rims on then you would. you can do it yourself, just take the old rims off and put the new ones on thats about it. and then maybe get take them to get aligned or whatever.

I am checking online right now for the tint. I will check ct law on the tint. I dont think I can tint the drivers and passenger side. And if that is the case then it is going to look stupid with just the two back windows done. :lol: but i will look into it.

As for the rims he thought I would have to make mods because I am going from 15 to 18s. He wasnt sure. I dont want to start then have to put it all back again. that would suck :banghead: . He also said I would have to put a caster on as well.

I will do some research on this as well. thanks

:lol: They do make a hot pink tint.... lol.... xtreme makes it.. I may have to just get it... :lol: I will check the law first though. Hot pink should look good as well dont you think???

thanks

well if you cant do the front 2 windows you can still do the back 3. even though its illegal by me I still have like 15% or 20% on my front 2. well if you like the hot pink and want that for your windows then by all means go for it.

this is a universal messanger that works with AIM, yahoo, MSN, and pretty much any other messangers. it takes all of the other messangers and adds them together so you can talk to anyone.

so are you painting a dash or dying it?

I am refiberglassing my whole dash then painting it so i can get a glass smooth finish.

well if you ever have any question please feel free to ask me and ill do my best to help you anyway possible!well just hang around in here and answer questions that are asked :lol:

i will do my best for i try to be dedicated to this forum...

you can still get the fiberglass look with the dye. The main difference between the two is with paint it has a tendecy to chip or can bubble after awhile. I know the guys here have had pretty good luck but depending on where you are the heat can cause a problem. with the dye it soaks in and therefore is less likely to chip or peel. Also it is easier to do. and you can have the same results. lol well good luck with it

well just hang around in here and answer questions that are asked :lol:

and believe me I have alot of questions......:lol: :lol: :lol: ... huh my99cavy...:lol: :lol: :lol:

and I am not afraid to ask even though I dont have a cavy.....:wink:

Not sure I should tint the windows as I have a defroster on the back window. it would be a pain :banghead: to do. It wouldnt come out even and that would bug the you not what out of me. :lol:

Just FYI I will be leaving for pa at 5am tomorrow and wont be back til monday... Try not to miss me to much :rofl: :rofl:

I will catch up with you guys when I get back. Take care and have a great weekend.

Hows it coming? Put up some pics when you are done. :)

hey welcome back!! I also just got back last night lol so whats new is that indyextreme is banned lol

well welcome back to you to then. :lol: so why is indy banned? I guess that explains why no-one has posted...everyone is on vaca or banned :rofl:

I dont exactly know why he got banned. when I got home I jumped on here and he was banned. so have you done anything else with your ride?

No I havent done anything else on my ride. :lol: I am waiting for the wires to come in and I have to stop on my way home to pick up some more paint. Kinda ran out :lol: :lol:

I was thinking about painting the visors hot pink as well. But I cant decide on that. I was also thinking of painting the fog lights too. Not sure what else to do. I want to do the coolant under the hood and was thinking of painting the underside of the hood as well.

Its hard for me to decide bec I dont want it to look stupid. I have never done a show car so it takes me awhile to think things thru. Usually I ask a ton of people their opinion then I decide. :rofl:

what about u?

painting your fog lights huh?? well then your not going to be able to use them which im sure you already knew lol. painting the underside of the hood would be pretty cool or you could get a mural painted on the underside as well. since you call it knight fox get something to do with that painted under it. just some thoughts.

:rofl: Not the actual fog log silly. The thingy that goes around it. The bracket holder thingy. Dont know the technical name. :lol: A mural would be awesome except for two things....1. I dont paint that well...:lol: and 2. It has a weird underside. It has pockets and brackets so I think a mural would be hard to do and probally costly. lol... Its hard to explain without seeing it. But it would be cool to have a pink backround with a black fox on it. I just might have to see what that would cost... probally too much.

there is glass paint, you could use for the fog lamps if you really wanted to paint them, thats what i used for my interior light cover thingy

I just might have to see what that would cost... probally too much.well if you really want to make it a show car then for under the hood you can get a piece of sheet metal or something like that made to fit the underside and the paint that. that way you will have a nice flat surface to work on.and yes a mural is probably going to be on the pricey side, BUT if you want to make it show worthy then you have to be willing to spend the money. also since you dont have too much experience painting I would have a shop that does murals paint it for you. too bad you didnt live close to me cuz I could get you an awesome deal on shit like that.

:rofl: I think a nice mural would look hoootttt.. I will check it out. Dont know where you live so I cant say how close or how far I am. I might just paint part pink and if I dont like it I will do what you suggest and get a piece of sheet metal and have it custom made. That would work. thanks

:lol: No i dont want to really paint them. Just the bracket that goes around it. Someone also suggested that I paint the grills but I think that might look a little unconventional I guess. What you think?

:lol: No i dont want to really paint them. Just the bracket that goes around it. Someone also suggested that I paint the grills but I think that might look a little unconventional I guess. What you think?I dont know about painting them but maybe buying or making a billet grill???

also I live in Illinois and your in Connecticut so I really dont think that I could get you a deal lol
