turning my 93 into a falSE

yesterday was a beautiful day so i finally got to install the oe spoiler i had from my parts car onto my 93, but as i was looking at it i realized i should paint the chrome on the taillights back as well. it is a gxe, but when i repainted it i painted the door chrome trim black, the grille blackand shaved the moldings. i never really got a chance to post up pics since i finished it up and bought a house right after. anyways, here's the taillight pics:
i thought about taking pictures halfway into it, so here's another shot of it from the back










thanks to everyone who helped out with the car in one way or another
n34jz for detailing it inside and out once it was finished and his marker light
maximan190 for his reinforcement
crazy4maxima for his(jason's) old back bumper

Not too shabby, J! And the trim looks like it came out pretty nice, too.

you forgot to mention I told you to paint the trim black.

it looks good but you should be working on your car, or my papa's truck.

paint is trim black from auto body supply store( known as the body shop that painted my cars) SEM makes it, its a satin finish. the third brake light will go as soon as i have the one from the wing hooked up, then ill tint the rear window 20% so its not noticeable. believe it or not i actually like the mirrors in color . i still have to do the front and rear window trim, but it's my fiancee's daily driver, so no rush. eventually my 18's and some sort of drop, but i dont know if i can trust her driving with the 18's!

Yeah third light's gotta go. Too many people around here leave it, and it looks like C-R-A-P.

Nice work Juan.
