how much was that stuff? I saw it somewhere but there was no price to be found on it. I was gonna either do all my suspension pieces with it or my engine bay, but couldn't find a price and got tired of waiting.... Ehhh owell

Looks good BTW...

Its $14.00 it comes with the primer, paint, and clear.. you NEED to use the primer, without it it just comes out clear. I tested it on a hammer w/ out the primer just to see what it looks like and I was like what the H***

yeah its the suncoast box, DONT buy it. Its $200 and has to be modified a lil to fit. I did notice some gains but it wasnt worth the price/work



:lala: sorry I just think the cloud is funny and had to add it.:lala:

Looks pretty sweet.

SLP makes a cool dual cold air setup that I think looks and performs very good. I finally got the car running pretty decent, need to change a pin on the ALDL and hook up a scanner and see what the computer is up to.

Definately a use for that stuff that I would never have dreamed of. I'm assuming that it looks real good in person with your orange paintjob?

I remember that you had problems because you have a MAF so how did you deal with that issue? I found your other post with the pic. Nevermind.

pick a color..........

should have painted it to match, but i know it's just my opinion.

i love the chromeillusion colors, but to mix it with a prowler orange?

just keep the hood closed and it'll look good.....

Sorry dude, but it gets a HUGE Thumbs-Down from me. Your exterior is beautiful, and you put a $.50 paint job under the hood. :nono:

I think the single thing you could do to class that car up 100% is yank that motor and either paint the engine bay car-color, or black.

I plan to do that eventually, I wanted to get it done when I got it painted but it allready cost me $5,3?? and I was without my daily driver for a month, so kinda blew that out the window.

I just did it cause it was still silver, the original color, and it was dirty, you can tell by looking at my bottles, so I cleaned it up and painted it a lil.

I see these pics and think it doesnt look good, I guess it looks better in person cause I think it does look 1/2 decent in person.

Dude!!!!!!

I like it a lot!!! I think it matches the theme of your car. And I like a contrast under the hood, rather than a matching color. It adds more life to the car.

Looks like I'm going to Wal-Mart tomorrow!! :sillylol: It'll look great on my purple car. :lala:

i saw that stuff at checker and wal-mart its the one that comes in a three pack right? it has the primer and the paint and the clear coat i think i was think of doing that to my dash parts but my car is white and the dash parts are sliver and i just dont think the white and that color would go good together but i never thought of doing stuff under the hood

i like it :hail:

It looks cool, but I'll have to say the orange would look much better under there. Great idea for a quick fix though.
