    *Minor Exterior Mods... HELP ME!!!!!*

    Again... Whazzup Yall...
    I am in love with my Little 94 5-speed DX... She gets me where I need to get with no problems at all... I want to pay her the respect she deserves and make her more beautiful... She is Extremely clean and aside for 3 small dents on the exterior... paint and body is perfect (no rust)... One Problem.

    The paint on the front bumper is straight chippin like a bitch!

    I am planning to do some stripping and painting, and being a 3rd year engineer student... my mind wanders, now I want to make this car a project. I didnt plan on totally re-painting the car till later, for now here are my (minor) near future plans. As soon as I can purchase a digital camera.. I will post the pics of what is accomplished

    - 17"x7.5" VRD Rims (already being shipped)


    - I want to scrap the clear corner idea and slightly smoke my corners and my tail lights.

    ***Need some help finding instructions to take these out***...
    I am used to the parts on my 92 Ford SHO (which I miss dearly, but not really because its a bitch to maintain)

    - ***Possibly find some Escort GT side skirts*** (paint them)

    - ***Possibly find a 91 Accord front spoiler lip ***(paint it)

    - ***Take my front and rear bumpers off, strip them, and repaint them (you know the OEM emerald, tropical green color) and then follow with a nice few layers of clear coat.***

    - ***Try and take all the ****TY black molding off and paint that also***



    IF ANYONE HAS ANY INPUT ON ALL THE *** STUFF... PLEASE ANY ADVICE GIVEN WOULD BE APPRECIATED AND TAKEN WELL INTO ACCOUNT. WHEN YOU REPLY, PLEASE JUST SELECT THE SMALL PROJECT ABOVE AND PASTE IT SO I KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT...

    nO fEAr'S pro-diddy has inspired me... Its clean, and solid, simple... Very sexy.. i give mad props... I want mine to look simular. Later I will try and paint it black... i think it would look good with the smoked lamps... Thanks So much for your input.

    Well, Bizob used model paint, candy apple red and did his corners and tails, from the pics it looked really good. Not saying to copy him, but it's an idea you can elaborate on.

    Was told they do infact fit....will need some minor trimming.

    May also want to look at 85-89 VW Jetta's and Golf's

                try searching the _how to section_

                if you cant find one then pioneer one. we aren't here to hold hands. it is just side moulding that is glued on. find a guy who has done it,

                do this by asking the "who's done this?" question, then follow it with a "did you have any issues? what materials did you use?"

                You'll get better results than demanding a how to.

                Also if you know what has to be done, go do it. "man up you're no mouse" it is glue and plastic, get a solvent and a plastic thing to pry with(if you dont care about your paint job, use a screwdriver). start prying. the solvent will remove the leftover glue.

                So his engine he goosed
                With much too much boost,
                And drove a rod through his block.

                  most of what u want to do is fairly simple. do what we did-try a few things, and see what worked best

                    Good Looking out Yall... protoss.. dont **** a brick.. he he.. regardless though, thanks ... hopefully I can accomplish these small things in the future... If I do, (or don't) I'll try and post a how to if there isnt one already.

                    Its ironic that I havent torn this car apart already considering im in engineering... im an 'idget'... Peace...

                      hey man i'm in engineering too. theory is great and all, but the best way to learn is to do. take a saturday and explore. trim, and tires are easy.

                      Have fun. it is ok to be an idget. hell i was an idget at one time. and sorry about that, your post read like you needed your hand held through every part of the process.

                        if you want to rip your door moldings off and clean off the adhesive underneath, talk to marc93LX, if you want to paint your door moldings, hit me up on this name on aim and i'll get back to you. and as far a bizob...well, he's got the hottest first gen around IMHO. at anyrate, good luck
                        peace

                              ok cool. IMHO i think that painted trim looks mint. i'm keeping my trim black and the car beige, the interior is going black, with my dark blue seats.
