Alright that makes sense. I could probably have my brother help when he comes to ice fish. Thanks for the tips man.

No worries. Just trying to help you safely carry 5 hookers (dead or alive) in the car without messing up the tires :P
 


Re: Burgundy Bullet - Ready for winter. Looks like poo

Well I got new tires on the torque stars to run in the winter. Peeled off plasti dip because some of it started coming off when they took off the old wheel weights. After having the bullitts on and then switching to these I hate looking at the car expecially because the wheels don't match anything now. Will for sure be taking the plasti dip off the doors and such soon because it bothers me because it doesn't match at all. The rear is veryy saggy now so come spring I will probably invest in some new springs. Thinking of going with SSC at the moment. Anyway heres what it looks like right now.

Re: The Not-So-Fast Burgundy Bullet

Was going through pictures on my computer and I came across this. Probably my most favorite pic I've ever taken of my car. Absolutly love that wooden bridge. Makes for cool pictures. Wish I would have had the camera more focused on the car but I still like it.

Re: Burgundy Bullet - Bye Bye PlastiDip and other stuffs on

I took the PlastiDip of the door guards and trim. Doesn't match the Bullitts well and the look was getting old for me so here's how she sits now.

Next I made some grilles to see how they look. Yes they are rusty but they will probably be coming out in a couple of days so I can make them shiny and then appy clearcoats to protect it. Not sure if I like them or not but for free they aren't bad.

Heres the intake I made. Definitely changed the sound of the car for sure! Love it. I will probably paint the PVC pipe black to match the rest too.

In other news:

I got the 10in Pioneer sub and the amp installed. Definitly happy with that as well.

Will probably pic up some new fog lights in the next few months. Leaning in the direction of projectors with HIDs so when I retrofit the headlights they will match.



Anyway that is all I have for now. Feel free to pipe in and let me know what you think of things and also feel free to give some advice!
 
Re: Burgundy Bullet - Bye Bye PlastiDip and other stuffs on

Looking good, would like to see the end result of the grills. Where did you get those grills?

Oh and needs tint.
 
Re: Burgundy Bullet - Bye Bye PlastiDip and other stuffs on

Now just get all that crap off the spoiler, tint the windows like Tankman said, and get thsoe fender stripes off.

Otherwise, now it looks clean.

See, I told you.

The grilles I made out of some mesh that I found in the milkhouse on the farm I am staying at. I went in looking for a pipe and brought that one out along with another more open mesh that I will probabaly make a set out of as well.

Crap on spoiler stays until I figure out how to fix the clear coat on the spoiler that I pulled off the car or I get the Gen2 spoiler. (Think thats the one)

Fender stripes stay until they start to peel up. lol. Then they go bye bye again. Or until I put the Bullitts back on. Whichever comes first.

But honestly I thought it all flowed with the black T-Stars but now that I'm starting to spend money on it and the Bullitts didn't match it at all its time for a change.


And for the tint I'm going to hold off on that. Like I said I will probably be getting a set of projector fogs and after that will be retrofitting the headlights. Plus I'm really undecided on what to do for tint as well. I just hate the thought of having to take it to a shop to get it done.

Before anyone says anything about that spot below the throttle body I will tell you that is Vaseline. I couldn't get the rubber over the metal so I put some around the edge of the metal and that bad boy slid right on so easily.
 
Re: Burgundy Bullet - Bye Bye PlastiDip and other stuffs on

i dont dig the mesh grill, no matter how many times ive seen different materials and patterns, it still looks cheap and tacky.
 
Re: Burgundy Bullet - Bye Bye PlastiDip and other stuffs on

Thats because it is cheap. lol. I really wanted to get the Street Scene grilles but I couldn't justify spending the $120 or whatever it is to get them.
