For the center console & other interior pieces I used krylon for plastics gloss black, did like 4 coats, 2 cans did the trick.

The blue from that picture I photoshopped of my car was actually from the light of the sunset, the sky or something... This is the best I could do... the limit program I have is mad basic, nothing like photoshop. Your car is looking good, man. Made me sick to see the damage from that accident, but I'm glad the insurance covered everything.

That looks awesome bro! Yea I'm glad insurance fixed it instead of totaling it, I have put countless hours in my car & to let it go would have pissed me off.The blue from that picture I photoshopped of my car was actually from the light of the sunset, the sky or something...

BTW Decipher, my wife loves the pic, she said blue window tint would look good but I told her it wouldn't be effective for blocking the sun, lol!
Might check around see if you can get it in a dark blue, cause that would look sweet.
Haha, nice. I'm sure you could find some blue hued tint. My tint is actually lumar's bronze. I wanted it to kind of flow with the color of the car... it's one of those really subtle details that no one in the world will ever notice, but I do and I love it. But yea, some tint would look nice.
What other mods do you have in store? My car has been more of an aesthetic project for the most part as well. You plan on lowering it any?

Yea I'm looking to lower it some but not much, I have a steep driveway so I wanna make sure it has enough clearance as not to scrape, that will happen at tax time when money isn't as tight. I want to get a rear window visor at some point & get some lips probably some type r's.
I wouldn't worry too much about scraping after a conservative drop. I dropped mine at least 2" and my exhaust hangs only about 3" from the ground near the cat, plus my lips, and I RARELY ever scrape anything. You definitely have to be conscious of it, and drive accordingly, but you'd be surprised how much clearance you really have.
I've been thinking about a rear visor too. I love little inexpensive things like that, that can greatly alter the look of the car, but only cost a few bucks. Plus, not very many people I see (around here at least) have those.

My mats came in today, finally getting rid of the death mats, also posted a video on youtube of a tour so you can see what it looks like.

I just posted a thread in the regional area southeast for CC members in the FL area possibly getting together to organize a meet in this area, I have seen more people on here from FL & even some right down the way from me & down south. So I will be creating a FL CC Facebook page for those of you that want to join, also open to people from other outlying areas as well.

Sometimes the best way to give someone advise about upgrades or problem is if you can see it yourself, so this a great idea for people who need help with thier cars or for those who enjoy giving advise, wish I lived closer, but GL hope a ton of people show.
Pics would be sweet.

Thanks man, I have been thinking about doing this for a while now, I figured that the quality of people on here would benefit by having something in this area, also good to meet people you have been chatting with & help out hands on with issues they may have, I would be happy if 10 people showed or signed up for the facebook page, I see people from FL sign up on here more & more & I would like to expand on that.
Damn, went to a car meet & only a few guys showed, all mustangs, talk about out of place but they told me that this meet was dying so not many people come there anymore, going to another local meet tomorrow night, seems like more people are involved with this one.
I went to the meet last night, more people at this one but the organizers were at another meet at a drag strip, so the guys I was hanging out with said there is another meet close by & we all cruised out there, man there were like 80 cars there, it was really nice, I was told this is a monthly event, I'm going to this meet whenever they have it, mostly Evo's but nice ones, a handful of honda's & some Lexus IS 300's, one guy had a Lotus which was cool to check out.
Not a bad start, but I would suggest staying away from ebay. And definitely say no. To that type r lip!
I might go mugen on the lip, I can't decide sometimes, as for the meet I didn't have my camera & my iPhone takes crappy pics at night but will do next time.
Me & manual transmissions don't get along to well so I stick with auto, I'm not trying to race, I did back in the day but now have too many responsibilities to be getting crazy plus it's my DD & I'm a stay at home dad, it's mostly an appearance build but I may give it a little more power under the hood when my son gets older.
