02 LSE Update (pics)

[pagan_blood]

whats up guys,i just got back from moscow and finally got to see the new paintjob, i'm really happy with it, i think it looks nice.

you can tell from the pics that the car is pretty dirty. i wasn't able to clean it yet cuz im sick.

also, i don't have the rear valence and the side skirts on yet, the front and rear bumpers aren't on completely, and i didn't screw on the grille, so don't mind the gaps and imperfections around.

If you guys wanna see what i was starting with here are previous update threads...

First thing im going to do is fill in the non-thru holes on the grille, paint the inside of the hood so you can't see it, and attach the emblem.

Gonna go get the exhaust done this weekend, then the next mods will probably be angel eyes, clear corners and intake

great work.. looks nice i must say.. is there a reason u went back to the stock color?

 

[pagan_blood]

ya i actually wanted to paint it a charcoal color or maybe black but i didnt have the money to completely repaint the whole car.

i kinda got used to the color and like it now, plus you can't see dirt on it as much.

but i still kinda wish that i painted it charcoal or something though...

Pappy,
It's not that Ken quit selling the kit. It's the fact that Autolign went bankrupt and he can't get the kits. Trust me that Ken would LOVE to sell the kit!!

P.S.--Pagan, how did you fill in the side markers? My LSE Lit is at the bodyshop and I think I will fill in mine too. I think it would look great on my Dupont Super Jet Black paint job.

You've done a great job! This is truly a great story.
BTW, Russia? What were you doing there?

Pappy,

First i closedoff the back side with duct tape then got some of that jellie bondo and filled in the cavity with it. Then i sanded it down to match the contour of the fascia, then bondoed it in some more then sanded again and so on... after i got the shape right i went over with a coat of primer then sanded and kept doing it until i was happy with it

You've done a great job! This is truly a great story.

thanks bro!
i'm from moscow, so i was visiting for vacation... damn i love America! haha
