Pretty stock. I'd take the vinyl'd off the tow covers, distracting.

It's a good start. I like how you vinyled the side mirrors. I wanted to do that on mine, but I'm holding off.

Also did you heat and pull the rear emblem off? Been wanting to do my emblems for a while now, but haven't had time. If you're keeping it off, definitely fill the gap with bondo and get it paint matched. Or are you painting it to match the front?

Lastly, then I'll leave you alone, what did you use to black out that bottom bar on your bumper? vinyl? or plasti-dip?

Thanks r2dnel, yeah just did a few basic things only took me a few days to do. Pluss i added a sub and amp. I plan on customizing the door panel but that will take a while so i havent got to it yet.
The side mirrors were kinda a pain to vinyl. You have to have a heat gun or a very hot blow dryer to stretch it over the curves. Also watch out when putting the mirror back on bec it bunched up my vinyl where the light is so I have to redo that one.
Its vinyl, the plasti dip sprays on way too thick to do. It looks cool on the emblems but not very sleek.
I meant to put the emblem bavk on but i have to repaint it so i juat left it off. Im thinking about making another panel though out of fiberglass just havent got to it yet.

Lol btw guys i know its not very custom at all but that only took me a few days to do. Im about to start getting into heavier stuff such as cutting parts and bondoing and whatnot that just takes a lot more time.

Do things that make you smile, who cares what others think tbh. Don't go chopping your car up trying to impress those around you. In the end of the day the only thing that matters is that your happy with your car and your work done to the car.

Haha well thats why im doing it. I just like to see what people think of the style and whatnot.
The front and back emblem i painted the same color as the car. Since I didnt use my paint gun just spray paint the back emblem chipped so I have to redo it.
