I got tints! Went out and took a some pics (meaning 50) and decided to share a few (Meaning 8)

Once I have a 5-spd and dropped, this thing will be right about where I want it!

It is about 4+5 coats of Stained Glass Window paint. I got it at Michaels Arts Supply for about $3.00, and some clearcoat and went to town.

At first you will think you effed up bad... but take your time and keep applying coats until around 4 or 5. Then let it dry for several hours (It somehow changes color/ smooths out the texture) then clearcoat and they come out looking pretty nice.

Looks clean 94maxshima!

I feel like a dummy, I was going to tell you to clear the turn signal lights, but then I remembered that they didn't come orange from the factory.

Looks wise, I definitely like my car better, but I like the wifes gxe better on trips, much more comfy to ride in on the stock gxe springs, and the cloth seats are much more comfortable then my old **** hard leather seats. i don't even take my car on longish rides/trips anymore, the ve looks nice with the drop springs, but they not very forgiving over rough roads.
