Lookin good there. I plan on doing that in the near future. Rattle canned?
 
Are we supposed to be looking at the painted reflector or the antenna?

actually I think he is talking about the antenna, let me put it into math terms...

painted reflector = :)
huge CB radio antenna = :(
thread title = uh oh. Yep
uh oh. Yep = "I did something dumb. Yep"
therefore.... this thread = "Yep; I did something dumb"
 
Yea painted the the reflector.

Antenna is for the CB. It was on my truck. got the csvt Put it on there i use it for the highway mostley. when i get another truck it will be going on there.


As for the paint. It needs to be redone. My stupid ass turned on a fan when it was allmost dried and got crap in it.
 
Ahhh I see. Well I would redo it then. Other than the few spots, it looks good.

As for Aliasjerk, not a fan of the whole thing painted red. Needs more contrast.

Here's mine:

Ryan's look good because the silver is the only color on the back. The bottom portion was painted silver. But in your case, Aliasjerk, I would have kept some black since the botton portion of the bumper is black. In other words, bottom painted->paint it.... bottom black->leave black.
 
I like my style of painted chrome strip

As far as the contour one I think cannondalemtbs' works the best.

Exactly.

There is a reason cannondalemtb has owned two of the best looking cars on CEG...:shrug:
 
Hmmm, I think I like the stock reflector better. With it painted it makes the inside of the tail light lenses look cut off. I do like the SVT badge in place of the Ford emblem though. Where do you get that?

At any ford dealership, just vinyl or paint over the ford badge and place a new svt emblem in place. Or get parkedcar on here to make you a domed overlay
