Re: Pictures of our systems?


Thanks. It was alot fun, once I got started I couldn't stop till it was done.
Funny thing is that this car means alot more to me then my 92 grand marquis
that I bought road ready. I learned a few things the hard way. I painted
everything off the car and got the paint to match perfect But..... I bought a
brand new aftermarket bumper cover that was made out of plastic. Painted ( car
has base clear paint) it let it dry for a few day and wet sanded it then
buffed it. LOL The bumper cover looked wild almost a show car finish. Little
did i know that before you paint raw plastic you need to use a platic
activator for the paint to stick LOL. Went to the car wash and power washed
the car and huge patches of paint started flying of the bumper cover, I almost
cryed LOL. So I stipped the bumper cover and re-did it using the activator, I
was scared as hell when I did round two at the car wash, but the paint did
stick this time.

Ca-pi-tan,
Awesome job on the front end. I can't believe a non-pro could do such great
work. I know this is an audio board, but awesome work!
