[cutelilracer]

agreed.

i'll deal with dents over rust holes looks nice! don't worry tho, not everyone's car on CP is near show room condition either lol

[SleptWithURWife]

It can look like ass and still be fun as **** to drive. My white car was rust with white colourations before I got rid of it. The interior was still awesome though, and I loved driving the **** out of it.

what the hell is wrong with painting the vents?

it's super tacky and 99% of the time people don't do it right so they look like **** after a few months. I dig the wheel color, especially with a black car, but it's so rare for color-matched interior stuff to look right.

^ +1. Vents is so tacky/verge of mexican car.

[cutelilracer]

If your an artist you can do lots to make it yours. Did you see deadlysleepers valve cover? Its a piece of art. Paint something underneath the hood. Even the under hood if you wanted.

while not a bad plan, if I lived in buffalo, I'd go get a canadian GT or GTX.

[cutelilracer]

for whatever reason i never thought of painting things underneath the hood. i think thats a fantastic idea. my buddy was just talking about doing the same to his maita well similar i guess. genious idea. probably going to begin collecting things for her within the next 2 weeks. probably wont start much work till spring but most definately going motor shopping very soon...working at parts channel definately has its benefits.

I wish you luck with the build, every car has potential !! Just depends on how much money and efford you want to put forward, and of course what your over goals are.
As long as you have fun and enjoy how she turns out, go all out

[SgtRauksauff]

clean car is clean!!!

Those aren't dings, they're speed dimples, like golf balls have!!

Paint the vents! But if you do, be sure to have a stylistic theme involved, so there's more than just some uber-contrasting color spots in the dash, and no color anywhere else. maybe reupholster some seats, with piping the same color as the vents. But whatever it is, be sure you know WHY you want to do it. For yourself? for others to see? For practice before starting on a long-term project?

Also keep in mind glare from sunlight when driving. paint=shiny=glare=dangerous.
