Three coats of Krylon stained glass paint, on the inside. I used butter knives to separate the lenses from the housing.

Looks great! Now I feel bad for only shaving my emblems and adding window guards in the first two weeks. I got some catching up to do!

Nice start! Now get busy shaving off those emblems and rear wiper. Then peel off the black tape around the side windows. The list goes on and on...

I might do LED's for the 3rd light, but not the tails.

Here's more....
ABS Dynamics grill (to be painted)

I've since gone back to the stock grill. The spray bomb paint job sucked, and I destoyed the grill trying to get it back off.

Installed the Kenwood KDC-MP4028 I had out of my old car. The Subplug and stock deck sounded good, this sounds better. I might eventually get the adapter to get my steering wheel controls back.
