(i hope ya got the thing..) Thanks man!I did get the cupholder but I haven't messed with it yet since I found out that it's too deep for the space where I was going to put it. Maybe one of these years I'll mess with it. Quote from: slamedcatThe house in the back ground changed?I've wanted to do that but I don't have the patience to paint the bumper. Yes the house has changed. I had the siding painted - Chestnut brown. All that's left to do on the outside is pave the driveway. Painting the trim wasn't a bad job; a little sanding, tape it up and a rattle can of satin black bumper paint. The job was completed in an afternoon. I should have used some filler to fill the little nooks that are in the bumper. Doesn't look too bad from 10'. Quote Selected

I also have some of those "Turbo Coupe" door emblems I notice are missing from your car. I was gonna put the TC trim on my car, but decided it ain't worth the work - painting the stripe would be easier. I'm thinking I may even do it in blue, since I'm swapping the blue interior in. I may even use some leftover RCMP decals I have and make it reflective blue...About that painted siding - I didn't think you could paint vinyl siding? How did you do it? I'd love to paint this house......But enough derailing. Bumper looks great! I like those tailpipes too... Quote Selected
Notice anything different? Reply #12 – August 12, 2006, 09:34:14 PM Thanks Thunder Chicken.I'll have a closer look at the trim but I think it's just a build up of wax. I think it should clean up fine with a couple applications of Armor All. I have the Turbo Coupe emblems in the glove box. I just haven't put them on yet. I think the blue strip would look good on your car but please don't use reflective tape. :hick:As for painting the vinyl siding, all you have to know is you have to use 100% acrylic latex paint. A lot of people around here are painting their siding. Some are using gloss paint but I would suggest flat. The flat finish looks better IMO. Quote Selected
