I'm planning on blacking out my rear tail lights, reverse lights, as well as blacking out the rest of the front of my V.
Post up pics of how you have your fronts\rears blacked. Did you keep the chrome outline on the grill? Did you black it all out? Did you black half the fog light? The whole thing?
I'm interested in seeing pictures so I can decide what I should and shouldn't do.
Right now, I have blacked wheels, half blacked fogs (signals), mesh in grill blacked with chrome outline, blacked side markers, but nothing done at the rear. I also haven't had the chance on blacking out the bottom grill, but I'm thinking whether I should black the entire thing, or try to leave some of the silver trim on the sides.
Does anyone know Cadifabricator? I would like to know wher the hood and ground effects came from on his car! That hood is sick! I know most of you guys may not like it. but it would look awesome on my satin black!! His profile says he is from the KC area and so mam I. But I cant seem to get a response from him.
You know we love these damn cars when we cant stop showing off pictures of them to each other and everyone else.... its real bad when most of them look just about the same! I aint mad at cha...
Not the best pic but this is how she sits right now I the garage. With the hood down and the windows up she is pretty black lol. I'm going to start working on other things, tires, and all bushings next. I am happy with the amount of black and don't want to darken up anything else.only thing I might ad would be a different hood
I purchased my V in December and have been busy the last couple months messing around. Finally got my front and rear bumpers painted but I still need to sand a couple runs out. Took the headlamps apart and painted the insides and outer perimeter of them. Smoked the fog lights. Repainted the grills and painted the chrome surround. I also painted the moldings around the side windows and center pillars getting rid of the flat black. I'm still looking at getting different wheels this summer but these will do for now. Man I love this car!
for sure, nice sinister V. it still turns heads in the good way. one of these days I'm going to plasti-dip the CTS, V, and GM emblems on the sides and rear.
yo! still in the 562 at the same place, plugging away at school... in the middle of chem, algebra and C++ classes... also keeping the ball rolling on some side projects.
