can u see any stress/flex cracks?

where they smoothed down then painted or painted on the texture?

 

They put several (I think 5) layers of hi-fill primer on them, with a sanding down each time. Then a layer of normal primer, and a few layers of paint. it's perfectly smooth and matches the paintwork perfectly. if you're going to do it, I reccomend buying new arches, and getting those done, because when they pull the old ones off, they warp a bit. You will see gaps afterwards. These gaps can be fixed with a 'glue' but it's probably worth doing properly the first time. I would have, if I'd known it would have happened....

 

nah, i like the textured trim!
i would switch it w/the new JCW trim but thats about it for now.
u dont get bloody cold winters there, like I do around here so it will last u a bit longer then it would me!!
. l00ks killer though .

 

I don't know what winter would do to it, but just so you know, the town I live in, Canberra, drops below zero daily during winter....granted, it's not Arctic, but -7degC is enough for me....

 

haha pansys, -7c is like summer during a NE Ohio Winter!

 

yes yes...

I lived in Manitoba for a year - I know what cold is....

In fact, I'd prefer that to the stinkin' hot summers we have...

 

how cold does it get, in that there state of urs ' not-so- ' ??

 

too cold.

ive seen 0 F before on our thrmometer outside, thats as low as it goes.

 

I've been in -50 Celsius (incl. windchill) (-58F).....that was in Portage La Prairie in Manitoba.....

 

can u even breathe ok?

lungs could freeze, brain could freeze, snot could freeze, tears, eye *****

 

yea...i am now going to a boarding school in NH... it's HILARIOUS watching the 2 californian sophomores shiver endlessly

 

I had a scarf over my mouth....the breath was freezing on it straight away...we were only outside for as long as it took to go from building to building....I think the ambient temp was around -38degC

I remember the first morning I was in Winnipeg, A mate and I looked outside and saw the sky was blue and thought "that can't be too bad!" - it was 11 Jan! Over there, blue Sky in Jan means COLD!!! Little did we know....haha...

We walked/ran to get breakfast (only a few hundred meters away), and to this day, my ears still tingle in the cold - from the damage I did to them that day!

Red is hot, like radiant heat.

you remind me of ME.... just as soon as i had the car home... it was in 50 peices.

 

i swear, theres only a select few of us crazy people that are willing to do that!

the day i got my car home,the interior was STRIPPED to install the stereo. i think the engine waqs still warm from the drive home while i was ripping the car to pieces!

 

i used to own a dark grey honda and a light grey toyota, now i have some real color with my '05 hot orange metallic ragtop. can't get better than that. grey blends in with all the others that are on the road.

 

I've often heard the words "stealth" and "sleeper" used with positive connetations...

 

cops dont notice cars that blend in easy. my car belnds in with anything in a dark sideroad once i turn the lights off.

 

Hmm....just gave the car a quick wash....
