Nice car man, too bad the car was a little dirty when the chance to take pics. came up. Is it just the picture or does the passenger side exhaust pipe seem like its sagging a little???
Anyway, nice ride. You should buff the black paint up and then take some more pics. I always thought black looked the greatest:)
 
It seems the paint is on the dull side on that bumper of yours. Is this your issue? Should go find some way to paint it cheap! It would be worth it :laugh:
 
when a black csvt is clean, it looks amazing! i love it. and there was just soo much sand on the roads from a snow storm..

i got the car from this guy in NY, and a guess the way they drive is a little different then the way we do around here.. the rear bumper is SHOT i hate it, its the only thing (next to the head lights) that takes away from the car

heres the rear bumper, and i think one of the pipes is a little saggy, its that trubendz sag.

and since this is my thread, some more pics.. haha.

the second day i had her, i thought it would be cool to try and impress this kid in a cobra, so with out haven't a clue i was taking a hard left hand U turn and dumped the clutch at about 5k rpms.. the car stopped moving, i spun the sh*t out the the left axle, ill have to get a picture of it, because i can't even describe this thing. anyways.. it was a pain in the arse getting it on the flatbed

(and while we were waiting for the flatbed i thought i should just wax her.. mmm)

I'm willing to bet the previous owner parked on city streets. When I walk along the city square my apartment is near, without fail EVERY TIME I will see someone hit a car while parallel parking. Usually it's a brand-new Audi hitting a brand-new BMW or something like that. The owners then get out of the car, observe the damage and walk away.
 
really nice! :) i like dirty and used looking cars. i say if the bumper is not cracked or 10 shades of color just leave it. i think it looks great. even with the so-called trubendz sag you speak of looks cool to me :D
 
eh, what can i say.. its my car, i love it. i try to do little things to it, and i just dont have the money, i want to bake open the headlights and clean them, do the high tower and re-seal them so they dont leak, but i dont want to be cooking any headlights unless i had a back up pair..

i cant make cookies in the oven, i dont think i would be able to not mess up melting headlights.

Dude, your headlights are done for. I've seen them in person. Put them out of their misery. :laugh:

Use them to pratice baking so you are ready for the new lights.

there's still hope.. i can bake them open.. get the pints of water out of them.. paint them, then do the wet sand thing on the lense and polish them.. it would be cheaper then getting the new head lights.. for now
 
Clear coat the plastic if you're going to go through all that trouble. I clear coated one and not the other last summer/fall and there is a noticeable difference still.

But the inside lens of your headlights are damaged from the water being in there so long. You now have to fix the haze inside and out. It will never look quite right. :shrug:
