RSPJEAN Rebuild it even better 04 pearl white

[rspjean]

thought i would just post my build thread on here from another forum.


Lets Start With How i Bought it.

Traded the black sprayed taillights with a local ep driver for some oem 04-05 tails


http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h218/daredevil3six/DSCN1489.jpg


Next up the ctr style wing isnt black its faded ass carbon fiber, so i wet sanded it and gave it a couple of clear coats.

Painted the dash

Next i got some CTR headlights & HID's

This is how the car was sitting

Then i hit a deer one night. worst part was that the deer was already dead.

My lip was cracked and shorty after this incident i curbed one of my rims really bad so i took the time to take off the lip and i sanded down and re-painted the rims green.

http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/109/l_c34d3e33fb3c4f71992c0b537c58dad7.jpg



After that i got bored so i painted em white with red H's on a single spoke on each wheel. my wing was looking pretty bad again so i just spray painted it white to avoid the damn pain in the ass which is carbon fiber.

i got bored of my white rims as well so i painted em purple.


http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h218/daredevil3six/ep3kz.jpg


picked up a jdm from bumper + Airwalker Japan lip. needs some work but for the price i got it its great.

Great Restoration!!!.... :msmile:

[codyep3]

I'm glad you went back to 02-03 tail lights, I find the 04-05 hideous. Car looks really good though. I would lose so much interest if I had all that stuff done to my car (rear ended, deer) but you fought through it. Congratz
