For some reason thirdgens look pure evil in primer. Also diggin the hood. Just the right height. One thought though. Instead of spending all the money on the rattle, Why not just get an el cheepo $99 maaco job?

I can't remember exactly but I think it was something like 12.

Id rather have a $50 rattle can job then a $99 Maaco job. The rattle can job probably looks better.

Besides, the rattle can job is only temporary. I plan on painting the car sometime with in the next few months.

I haven't decided on the color yet though, any suggestions?

Flat black like it is. Shoot it for real with some ppg dp90 flat black.
$150 bucks and looks sweet. I get more complemints on my car flat black than it ever did blue.

Do a search for flat black and look at TPI383's car. It's the 1st thread if you search titles only.

That's the Glasstek 2 inch. All fiberglass, and it's a bolt on. I get compliments on it all the time.

I just can't say enough good things about this hood. Best looking hood there is imo, and it's only $300.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Yeah I'm seriously considering painting if flat black. (But for real, not rattle can!) It just looks sick, especially at night.

Kinda gives it that batmobile look.

Cool, another brave soul who did a temporary rattle can job. I did the same thing, but white. I'll be looking to do a real paint job next spring after I get other things finished first. Oh well, this works for now, I did mine out of desparation and cause I didn't have enough money at the time. $35 and 8 cans of paint later, it looked like a totally different car.

The Snypers and glasstek combo looks sharp on your ride! I love how that looks, I might do something similar in the future.

Don't know, I've never taken it there.

Maybe I will after I get my full exhaust. But even then I'd be lucky to run high 14's.
