well in college now havent really got to do much with the car. I hit a fucking pole at a gas station...... chipped paint on the bumper and bent the fender. I really cant believe i was that careless.. :banghead: well heres my fix for the chipped paint on the bumper... haha i really never wanted to put stickers on my car but the black showing through looked terrible and this kind of lightened the mood.

soo winter break i plan on repainting the bumper, fixing dent :banghead: making the lip all one peice and lowering it down, painting the fold out part on my mirrors, and getting eyelids and color matching them.

I think you mentioned it in your log somewhere, but are you removing the side moldings at any point in the future?

Very clean looking car :thumbup:

Cool. I'm sure everyone can put their two cents in, but from what I remember personally when I did mine... do NOT use a heat gun. What it did to mine was melt the adhesive to the door and made it a bitch to clean off. All I did to the other side, after using the heat gun to one side, was use a credit card.. and slid it all the way through. You can use adhesive remover, spray it on a micro towel, and just work it on the crap on the door and it'll slowly ball up and come off. The heat gun portion made it where I had to really put some arm into rubbing it off... (lol).

Just thought I'd share.

Purple and yellow remind me of warios cart from mario cart... so that could be a good or bad thing. I agree with Dosneons, maybe black lip and purple center might look better.
