Redone front end and fender!

Hey guys when i bought the car their were 2 cracks in it and it was beat up. It had the spider cracks and didnt look that good so i got it redone and just got her back today! I had the foglights blacked out with the side markers and he will be doing the rear tail lights. Then i had the buckets painted black but he mixed in my paint and in the sun it really sparkels and looks really cool! So its alittle different. Then i had the fender was redone because i scrapped a pool but i was going like 1mph so didnt do a hole lot. Then the cool thing is he also offered me a job! He would start me off with 15 bucks an hour and also get commision! I am a jounior in high school so that would be really great and along with me working at a car wash and getting pretty nice tips their. So here is some pics to show u their not the best but i will get more soon! Tell me what you think!

That's a hot color. I really like it. Mine needs paint really bad but I gotta decide on the color. I want something unique like yours is. Looks great!

Re: Redone front end and fender!

that looks hot. but what do you mean when you said you had the side and fogs blacked out? did you paint the interior black, did you eliminate the bulbs, what was it you actually did?
do the fogs and side ones actually work?

Re: Redone front end and fender!

I'd concentrate more on your English skills than getting a job...

Your use of 'their' instead of 'there'.....'scrapped' for 'scraped'...and your a 'junior', not a 'jounior'....Just reading your post made my eyes hurt.

Sorry...But you really need to work on your spelling. Just trying to read to respond...Made it too painful to fully comprehend.

And his info says's he was born october 28 1970. Maybe if his writing skills improve he can graduate before he turns 40.

Re: Redone front end and fender!

Thank you very much! Everytime i take it to have it worked on they always say its one of the nicest ones the see on the roads today. I know that some of you guys have amazing camaros but for what i have i love it i think just bc its mine and know one else has a dime in it besides me. Im thinking about getting the big block hood as they call it and have it painted the same color as the buckets i think that would look pretty cool then with the Z-28 spoiler. But after doing this and getting some studded snow tires and new front tires im like out of money lol so have to save up some more! I will be going out on the next nice day to take some pics so i can show you guys more of my car its nothing special but i like it!
thanks
kevin

Re: Redone front end and fender!

Hey guys i'm glad u like it! Im sorry i didn't mean fog lights i just ment the yellow lights under the regular lights. The guy said that it was a awsome color that he hasent ever really seen. Its some type of red with gold flakes in it and stuff. What im hoping is to start working their some bc they get aftermarket parts real cheap where i can get the hood i want and spoiler and have it lookin real good! If you have any ideas or any other comments please tell! Or if you dont like it please tell im open ears!
thanks
kevin
