Default what have you done?

I am wondering what people have done to their ride as far as cool appearance on their cars? where i am getting at is i want to know what mods people have done to their ride besides the motor and interior, so thing like exterior? Ex. burnout lights in wheel wells, or any kind of additional lights? i know some people do pin striping and painted there cowl induction hood part black and other colors. I have done something to the extreme to my car and i will share this mod with all of you guys once i see if anyone else has done it to. I have not found anyone who has done this type of mod and would love to hear what you all have done so far!

I've just painted my calipers. I'm planning on cleaning up my engine (wire mod, painting coils, etc.) soon, too. I'm interested to see what you've done!

well since i said i could find anyone who has done this mod i thought i would like to hear what people have done, but i believe i have been the first to ever do this mod. to be honest it is not easy to do but i have done a lot before i tackled this job, meaning got the right tools and made sure that the first tackle was the last!!! if i would have screwed this job up i would of had to find another back fender to replace mine. But here you go, this is what i have done and i hope you like it!
Edit: well i tried to load the pics but it would not work so give me till tomorrow to load them. but i still want more people to tell me what they have done to their ride, while i try and figure out the problem of loading these pictures, i want everyone to tell me about there appearance look????

Well i hope everyone likes it and have a good day!!!
