I like what you've done, and the title to this thread sounds like a movie title

My friend has an Aurora with a 3.5 Loaded car every option and he loves the engine, but it is a bummer about modding for it though.

I'm thinking of doing HID's next, didn't realized how cheap you can get the conversion kits to do it !

Bitchenbob - Plasti dip is rubber type coating, can get it in a spray can, or brushiable, it has been all over the automotive forums, people seem to like it you can peal it off if you don't like it, o yeah dries flat black(if you get the black)

Here a pic from when I did my Saturn wheels,

a few more things... fixed a few rust spots back in aug. don't mind the over spray that has been taken care of, i still have one spot to do on the driver side(youll see in pic) and have yet to start the passenger side, (that is about when all my funky selling/ hives stuff started so i haven't had time to work on it and now it's winter....


driver side fender.. had your typical rust there,

Front of the tire/ part of the rocker / edge of the back door


right above the rear tire, i still have yet to do the part that is there in the pic because of my funky swelling and hives issue(was going to do it that day but ended up going to the e.r. instead)

and last but not least the newest edition!

6000K HID's

camera adjusted for the light that is why it is so dark

mounted the ballasts right on top of the headlight, easiest removal there if i want to pull the whole headlight no need to unplug anything!

So I guess what I'm missing is when you plastidip these things like rims etc, does it stand up well against sand, salt winter etc?

I did the those becuase they where just in horid shape and I may polish them out so instead of having to sand off a bunch of paint I can just peal it off, same with when I did the headlights if I didn't like it I can just peal it off, I like it becuase yes it is like paint will protect against weather ect, but is easliy removiable, I did a section of my bumper on the Saturn as a test bed against snow, salt, ice, pressure washing ect and thus far in the spots I pealed off it looks freshly waxed like when I did it!
