    Actually, 2 8th gens here is impressive! It would be cool if there were 2 blue IS300s here lol.
    I know what you mean with the turn signal lights, but I thought they looked good in one of your recent pics.

    IMO, if the orange bugs you, then the yellow bugs me!

    I took the glossy back off for a bit until I have time to do the whole car. I had only done the front clip, that's why that's all that was in the pic. It's all flat again lol

    lol, so what was the point of only waxing the front if you weren't gonna do it all, but take it back off?

    To see what it looks like, duh. And it wasn't wax, but yes, it was to see what it looks like. What was the point of destroying your Corolla with BMW parts and blue rattle-can? Because you wanted to. Same thing applies here dude. And I only did the front in case I didn't like the way it turned out. It's a lot easier to reverse only part of the car.

    well how'd you make it shiny and then "take it off"? You just sprayed some water on there and snapped a pic real quick?

    And it really doesn't compare to painting my car blue with e36 tail lights. 1) I didn't "take it off" immediately 2) What I did was 100% original, so I actually had no way to know what it would look like without doing it. You, you could just look at a black Corolla or any black car and see what it would look like lol (since shiny black is not original).

    It's called spraying a coat of gloss on there, sanding it off, and painting it with the flat black again. As for your counting (good job by the way) I never implied that you took off the taillights right away. That seems like that would be too much trouble to change out. And yes roach it will stay black.

    Wow, well that is a lot of work to just undo it! Crazy.
    And I did undo the tail lights after the car died.... it was fun taking a hammer to all that metal work lol.

    Yeah I saw you took it off at the end, but I'm wondering why you chose to put those hubcaps on lol. And bdub hurry up and fix the tranny in the lexus so you can spend time with the rolla and fix that visor.

    Tranny is fixed. Speedo is screwy so it's parked. I'm not dropping a dime more then I have to in the rolla. Honestly if everything works as planned it will be further parted out and sold by new years. I'm supposed to be getting a newer car from a family member to replace it. I like the car but I see no reason to waste money.
