Default Pictures!!!

I was bored and thought i would toss a couple pics on here to see what you guys thought of all my hard work. Leave me some feedback. Theres a side view of the freshly painted rims and painted headlights, not store bought depots. All badges exept ss painted gloss black. Blacked out tail lights and stock chrome tips on flow super 44s. Its dirty but you get the idea. And some other random out of order pics.

I'm tinting it tomorow. Will update with pics. For those weary about the legality of tinting your tails, I had to redo mine since the body shop nudged them up. I bought turtewax brand adhesive and label remover and it came right off to perfectly clean undamaged lenses. Just my .02

Car looks good. I am only about an hour Northwest of you in Westminster, MD. Did you have to replace the valve cover gasket when you painted it or did you just re-use? I planned on painting mine when it warms back up.

It's a rubber gasket it doesn't need to be replace as long as it comes off ok,the valvecover has a groove the gasket fits in. But when u go to put it back in it appears the gasket has doubled in size you just have to work it back in. Ps I've been through your neck of the woods a few times I'm about 45 minutes SS time from you.
