so ill tell you guys about how I made my baby seamless I used about 25 tubes of norton speed grip and glued everything first. I also used it on the back bumper as a filler because its super strong and I know it wont crack. so after i did that I did a light filler to level out everything on the back bumper. for the side skirts I pop rivited it and glued it on along with glass putty followed by light filler then polyester filler for the pin holes. Then I used and hs fill surface primer. I only used top notch products on my car. I sanded for days in and out till it was perfect to my specs. ill be back to talk about ti more in 2 hours guys hope you like my ride!!!

Ok guys I got a question I got new chrome water pipes with new sensors. ok so I have aftermarket gauge. Really dont want to drill a nother hole. so my idea was to put a resistor inline with the wire for my temp gauge in the dash, so when I start the car it will go up to temp right away then when my car is off it will go back down, then use the hole for my new gauge. what do yah guys think? i found the proper resitor to bring the gauge on my dash up at the right spot so it does not look like im over heating

i dont care for tall wings at all. i guess it is mostly the little "winglets" on the ends that turn me off.
