Soo , for those of you that saw my thanksgiving wreck post, i'm finally making some progress! I got some pictures before i took it to the body shop last wednesday and it will prolly be next wednesday before i get it back. The girl that i ran into had it all filed on her insurance so thnx her for the new pieces!

i decided on black billet top and bottom, steeda ultralight cowl hood, drake hood pins (i'm gonna get them powder coated black), clear front markers w/ black housing, and i'm gonna get the lights all tinted dark front to back. Went with the dual halo lights too, so i hope i end up liking those, we'll see.

and heres the ones that hurt the heart....but at least its all in good fun of the facelift!

there was a little sub-frame damage there on the front driver side. u can actually see it in the last picture. they had to cut a peice out on that arm in between the core support and the shock and weld some new **** in.

Black retro billet grille from American Muscle. Think it was just under $200 for top and bottom together.

I love the look of the headlight shade that i ended up with. I used some stuff from O'Reilys called Nightshade. Works great as far as looks but good lord i need to find a HID set or get the higher watt bulbs for them. I run around with my brights on and havent had anybody flash me yet. Still can't see great even on brights but its good enough until i replace the bulbs.

It prolly wouldnt be too bad with 1 coating of the shade, but theres 2 coats on both the headlights and the tails. Those black side reflectors on the rear were already shaded but i put 1 coat of shade on those as well to match the tails.
