So I finally put on my new grill and clear front lenses. Leaving the front plate off for now until I get a ticket for it lol. I also do have a brand new hood emblem but not sure if I want it on yet, might wait until after paint.

Very nice improvement.

There's a hood emblem? Or do you mean the little one on the front bumper?

Those simple changes really make the front of the car so much cleaner. I agree with UnderCover89TBI. Those clear lenses look great, and I should look into getting some to replace my worn out lenses. Would you share the info on where you purchased the clear lenses? Thanks.

I provided will with those clear lenses as a birthday present from my iroc, I replaced mine with a smoked version, either one can be casually found on ebay..
the smoked ones are a little harder to find..
you can usually find them matched with side marker lenses too!

..and cant go wrong with LED bulbs EVERYWHERE!

Thanks everyone Making the front improvements made a big difference in the look of the car. I too can't wait for paint!

The clear lenses are for sure sweet. TraviZ got them for me, along with LED's for them. But I needed the relay for them to work, but recently he also got me that

Del, ya I mean the one on the front bumper, sorry about that.

I'll bet if you just spent a little time with a buffer, that paint would probably shine up pretty nicely. I don't see much, if any actual oxidation in the pics. That might hold you over for a while until you're ready to paint. I have seen cars far far worse off than yours do a 180 with a buffer and some elbow grease. Worth a shot

No places for sure in mind yet. Color for sure will be factory. I love the original color and have no plans to do otherwise.

Can i get some insider info on that? I have narrowed my choices down to two places: a place called Warehouse Paint in Auburn, and i met a guy at a local car show who works for Gamboas in Rsvl. Whos the guy you have in mind?
