Great pic, good looking kid!

Can you remove that black pin stripping? That would look good if you did.

Ya, I can get it off.. but its a Pain.. and its not black.. its like a burnt red.

The wife said that after she graduates in August, and gets a couple months full time in the hopsital. then I can get the car painted and stuff... Thinking about a Pearl White that reflects a redish or salmon color when the sun hits it the right way.. but maybe i will just color match, and keep the factory white color.. but i gotta throw a black top on there.

nice, i like the black top on a white cabby look, i'd like to get my painted white again, but i'm broke...and i will be for a while =/ oh well, that just means i'll stick to cheap mods for now.

here's my suggestion.

black top, black clipper, shaved side markers, and lowered

like so:

That pretty close to what I was thinking... its looks pretty cool.

if i had a steadier hand i coulda made the clipper look better.
and definately keep those wheels. if you do anything with the wheels, just get those widened

question...... Lets say that I wanted to do that... How would I go about it?

i dont know about texas, but here in cali, there a few places that will do it.

they just get a blank lip unweld the center from your wheel and re-weld it into the center of the new lip
