Default New stuff on the 97

So i added some new stuff today, my glass inserts from subthump, and some light covers that i made.
lemmie know what you guys think!

Sub Thump Letters:


Lights:
Before-

After-



Took me about 2 hours to make all 4 and secure them. I like them because they arent fully blackouts and they add something different to the car. Nice and subtle, and i can see at night.
If anyone cares i made them out of these fugly covers that go over the whole llight area. I just chopped em down and stuck em in, i also have a set painted black to act like black-outs. Definatly a unique look


one last thing, i did a regualr wash and spray wax with nxt. I took this shot this morning which was a day after the wash. One of my fav pics of my car makes me feel good about my paint

Looks good, and I have to say I'm especially happy to see the sand blaster (the bra) removed from the frontend.

Post some side shots of your car, are those Z06's ??? It's nice to see another 97 around. I've owned two 97 F-bodies.

Yeah, I wish there had to be a warning label on the bras when they're packaged alerting users that it will damage your paint tremendously. A lot of people put them on to "hide damage" not realizing that the bra is the equivalent of a paint stripper and will only cause more damage than it hides. [/rant] Ah well, new bumper and some paint and you'll be good as new.
