Scorpion, those emblems look awesome!!! I wonder how that would look on gunmetal?

I really like my Covercraft sun shade, but honestly..any one will do!

FYI-this thread is NOT filled with cheap mods!

By the time I add up what I've spent on a fog light, start button, LED's, dynamat, an oil cap, an undershroud, wheel locks and probably a few other things I'm forgetting, it gets expensive! LOL.

And none if it is installed on my car (which now has 55 miles on it) yet.

Each individual mod is cheap, not all of them together

This!

Yah, if you're just looking to get a couple of things done to enhance your ride, hen its easy on the wallet! If, however, you're just getting started....well then it's easy to blow a couple more pecos than originally intended!

I posted this in the interior section as well.

I got bored today and masked off the Z on the sport kick plates and "painted" them with a metallic silver Elmer's painters marker ($3-4 at walmart). I think it turned out pretty good...

happytheman · 03-05-2012, 06:30 AM

Wow! Great idea! +Rep for originality!

Thanks! Sorry for the quality of the pics, I'll repost some better ones tonight.

Did you have the illuminated kick plates?

sfearl1 · 03-05-2012, 07:57 AM

Nope, just the base/sport black ones.
