Default New pics of T/A

These pics didnt turn out quite as good as i had hoped! The weather wasnt so good, kinda cloudy and the camera sucks but you get the idea!...anyway, i'm kinda new here and havent done many mod's yet...just some minor exterior/interior appearance stuff. My girl isnt quite as clean as i'd like but its alright i guess!...what do you guys think of the painted headlight housing?.......comments and suggestions welcome!

When I got my first bird I did all the same decals as you. I grew out of that. Less is more. Looks good tho.

Your bird looks clean. I like it a lot.

2 things though to help it look even cleaner. Remove the bird from the side panel and then also remove the molding on the side doors. I use to have both and I took them off and I like a whole lot better.

Best thing is that they don't cost anything to do.

Thanks for the input guys! i removed the birds from side yesterday afternoon actually! i never intended on leavin them on, i just wanted to see what they looked like. and since the dont do anything permanent and arent hard to remove, i went ahead and put them on. as far as the side moldings go....i read some threads last night on the "how to's" about doin this and i'm thinkin about tackling this task this afternoon after the sun warms up the car!

Not too shabby man. Planning a lot of silver accents on the car? Headlights might look good like that if you are.. if not why not body color?
