How is it that you always manage to make your car look so damn clean?? Hehehe I love the car man, ur front end looks so mean...Is there any way you can show us how the alternate blinking between the brake lights and the signal lights work?? Sounds kinda cool hehehe

Love everything about ur car man

Ronald

Thanks a bunch man...that means a lot from a guy who has a car that looks cleaner than mine I just ordered a porter cable polisher, so hopefully that'll save my arms from the freakin 5 hour process of hand cleaning/polishing/waxing lol

I can definitely get a vid up of the alternating brake lights...I'll get some footage probably tonight and upload it

Naah my digicam always seem to make my car looks so much cleaner for some reason Hahaha I kno what you mean tho, I spent close to 4hrs last wkend jus washing/waxing the whole car, trying to not miss any spot...Not fun I tells ya...I swear I think I even ended up waxing my car in my dream when I slept that night..Bwahaha That's allright, I only do it once every 2 years I believe..hehe

it's all worth it tho...I think everyone here can see what kind of hard work you've done to your car after a 5 hour process..hehe the car is sooo...Green!! hehe is that the original paint btw?? Jus curious...EIther way..

front end looks INSANE man. i was never a huge fan of that style grill until i saw it on your car.. and thats DIY too
it makes the headlights look really aggressive (as if they weren't already aggressive enough looking).

any plans for wheels in the future? that would set the whole car off for sure.

at any rate, i've always had total respect for you and your ride ever since the SHO days.

THEE cleanest (literally) CB on here! jeez i wish i kept mine that clean. great job on the front end too. simply awsome pare!

[br0nx finest]

From one Arcadia Green cb7 owner to another, I am so ready to give you cash to make me a grill like that. So hot, so innovative, so DIY

And I've always been a fan of your car, because its what inspired me to stay Arcadia Green and Gunmetal'ed up! Talk to me man! I got cash!

Keep up the good work!

Looks seriously clean for a car thats nearly 14 years old. That is hella nice.

Stupid question but how do you properly use the Clay bar? Ive got alot more to cover since I own a truck now the instructors aren't really detailed to a specific.

Ive never used it before can you give me some pointers? Just shoot me a PM

thanks a bunch guys for the comments/critiques greatly appreciated peeps

as per the grill, I've had several inquiries but I unfortunately won't be able to make any for a long time, regardless of the price...due to school starting back up and such. I thought I had taken more pics of the grill in its infancy stages, but apparently not? I'll upload more if I find them...but here's basically a shot of the grill after 3 layers of fiberglass and some bondo'ing...was not close to being finished at this point and still needed a ton of sanding/some shaping:



Here's a pic of me butchering the 92-93 grill:



word to the wise...do NOT do this inside the house. I was an idiot for that, and lesson learned This is probably one of the parts I hated the most, was removing the emblem



My dremel had the hardest time with it since it appears to have a metal backing, and once you cut it you'll see that you have to reshape and improvise the curvature to match the rest of the bar, especially since it protrudes in many areas.

And a pic of the final product being testfitted on the car...not the final fit (I lined up the eyelids and keep them affixed to the car with 3m double sided heavy duty square pads)


The paintjob is all original except for the hood and drivers side fender which had to be resprayed when I got into a front end collision a few months ago. I try to wash/polish/wax at least once every month. Definitely makes a difference. But I am going to repaint the front bumper and grill professionally after winter because I already know they're going to get owned by the snow and freakin salt stones they put on the highway. Oh well...when I do, I'll put the 3M invisible bra on there and it should keep it lookin new for awhile.

Sorry about being busy, but I'll definitely get the vid of the taillight mod up by tomorrow night

thanks again fellas

Using the claybar is pretty easy man. Just wash the car as normal, then using either the sudsy car wash solution or any kind of Instant Detailer spray, wet a small area and then gently work the claybar over the lubed surface, then wipe with a clean microfiber towel. After you do this the surface should be ultra slick. Always make sure to mead the claybar after doing a large area or a very dirty area, as you don't want that debris getting back on your paint job and scratching it up
