Probably Thursday or Friday. I'm pissed because I forgot to buy my caliper paint and duplicolor color match paint also... :gaah:

Soon I'm looking at a body match trim (minus rockers like joe), Silver or black hubs with red calipers and a debadge. :eek:k3:

Why are you skipping the rocker????
 
#13 ·
Its gonna get scuffed up from curbs and stuff :lol:

Later in the summer I plan on pulling them off and the inner fenders and such to do a complete undercoat. I may hit the rockers then, :dunno:
 
#14 ·
Mine are painted and they really don't get that beat up. That gray plastic just looks so horrible
 
#15 ·
I'll probably end up getting them in July or August when I undercoat.

I'm thinking about selling the indy grill now and going for a plain honeycomb or mesh grill, badgeless to complete the debadge, I'm unsure of this now :gaah:
 
#16 ·
That's what I plan on doing. All mesh grille. I know someone who's looking for an Indy grille for a good price if you do decide to sell
 
#17 ·
I'll be ready to sell as soon as I can afford a mesh grill. I have mixed feelings on it since I really wanted the INDY, but seeing all of the debadgeness has got me changed I guess. Although I dad get great service at: Basil One-Stop Shop - Basil One-Stop Shop Where I purchased from

I'm officially pissed! I just realized I have VHT on my tail panel.... I'll have to address the "naked" area on it when I debadge :gaah: :bang:

Could always just dip it black like I did with the one on my tail panel
