You can just sand it down if its too dark...just go in light coats- it will be even that way as well. Then get some clear coat and done. Smoked side lights for under $12.

The problem with the covers is easy install also means easy theft. When I had the covers a had a set stolen-

Removing the lights isn't that hard- just jack up the front end- remove the splash guards and pull the lights out...

 

Well I'm going to have to remove them anyways to replace a bulb.
And I don't need clear coat do I? Because I hav done my taillights with the spray, and they look good without it because I have a flat black Berger.

And to replace it I would need to remove the whole part where the air damn is??

 

No- you don't have to clear coat- since you already did your tail lights then you know what it will look like if you don't.

By "it" I assume you mean the bulb? The air-dam doesn't need to come down, you can do it with just pulling the corner pieces off. My recommendation is just replace all the bulbs when you have them out. If one blew the others aren't far behind and for the couple dollars it can avoid a headache in another month.

 

The best appearance mod of all is having perfect paint and bodywork.

 

Yes, you can sand down if you end up going too dark. However, you run the risk of damaging your turn signals. That's all I meant by it being irreversible, if you coat the turn signals too dark, you're going to be hard-pressed to get them completely back into stock form or even just a shade or two lighter without scratching them. Like procharged said, just apply lightly and see how you like it as you go, can't go wrong that way.

 

I couldn't agree more with this guy right here

 

Agreed, but the kid said he's on a budget so we're trying to keep it as cheap as possible for him

 

Yes. Well my car had been repainted about a year ago before I bought it, and there are some chips from where they lived on a gravel road. But I have put halos on it, repainted the headlight buckets, Berger, antenna, black out taillight, custom( homemade) cai.

 

lets see some pics red! ^^^^^^^^

 

What do you mean?

 

As in post pics of your car....

 

I'm not gunna try to hijack this thread, but I'll tell you how I came up with what to do with my car.

I've always loved the look of the GMMG Dick Harrell cars. Looked at a bunch of the 1st gen. "Mr. Chevrolet" cars and loved the look. Found a company that made a "Sunoco" style hood (VFN). Found a company that made similar stripes for the 4th gen (4thgencircledesigns?). Took the body molding off and the badges off sides and rear. Used some NOS script symbols on the front fenders (Year One). Still debating about going with a tall spoiler in the rear and having "Mr. Z28" put on it like "Mr. Chevrolet" was put on the ones back in the day. The stripes were origninall supposed to say "Mr. Z28" but since we actually painted them on, the stencil would have been very difficult to use for the lettering.

Just find what you think looks good, think about it A LOT. Then go with it. Ever see a Camaro on 20"s? Someone out there likes it.
