Finally Got Around To Taking Some Pics

[imported_camelian]

got some time today to wash/wax the car, so i took some pics while it was still clean. comment as you will, but keep in mind that i'm still in school and have a small budget to work with i like to keep a balance between performance and show. still workin on performance right now














DIY steering wheel


for those of you who were wondering, this is how the tint job turned out. i think it was worth the money to get that 3rd brake light covered.

this is what some punks did on friday 13th.

they got all the rear emblems too.. what pissed me off though were the deep scratches they put in the paint while getting the emblems off. i had to patch them up before it rusted. i got the red H to cover up some of the scratches too

That WAS a clean looking car! (no pun intended)
It looks alot better without the black flames though, lol
I hope that your insurance took care of that little mishap.
If they didn't, I'd somehow find out who did it and break some knee caps!
Later.

actually i was able to get the paint off myself with some chemicals my dad had. (he works with paint =p). i had just gotten the car a week ago and didn't have insurance on it yet. they messed up cars all along the neighborhood..some worse than mine. popo's didnt catch anyone though.

Wow! It's great to hear that. I was actually bummin' for ya for a second there!
Keep up the good work!

aaaghhh those lousy bastards!! yeah even if you got the paint off I'd still opt for the knee cap bustin option.

hey what kind of chemicals did you use? secret brew? off the shelf stuff? Just wondering.

i think it's called "mineral spirit." it took 2 hours and 4 used socks to get it off. my arm was so sore afterwords :x. it didn't leave any blemishes on the paint, but i don't know if it would work for rims or other surfaces.. my neighbor's nice accord still has 1 black rim.

[imported_biocac]

In your case, I guess you used the right thing. Mineral spirits would be my 1st bet as well.
As far as your neighbors rim is concerned, they could use "aircraft remover" very sparingly to remove any unwanted paint. I'd only resort to that if the rim dosn't have a finish on it such as a clear. The stripper could remove that as well.
