mattster:<P>Those taillight covers don't look like the standard vinyl stickering I've seen. Where did you get those ones??? They look like they were bought professionally or something.

Sara<P>Yes I did make them in the normal vinyl stickering fashion. However I spent alot of time perfecting how to do it... that is probably why they don't look like everyone elses. The link below brings you to the topic on the UBB about how I made them:<P><A HREF="http://www.mx-3.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb. ... 7&t=000764" TARGET=_blank>Tail Lights</A>

I have no clue what kit it is... nor does anyone on the Bulletin Board (as far as I know).

Hey! So thats who makes that kit! Someday... when I'm rich... I will buy that front bumper with the FX side skirts and the G-force rear bumper. But until then... I just have to drool.<P>By the way the reason the first link didn't work was because you made the "." to end the sentence as part of the link.<p>[ May 05, 2002: Message edited by: mattster ]

I'm still kina' partial to Black - but try black with a "twist":<P>On an R/C Model Truck that I built a few years ago, I used a black that has a very fine metallic substance in it. When I get my GS re-painted (soon), I am debating either this sort of color, or sticking with plain old "Brilliant Black".<P>Just my $0.02 worth
