I decided to paint it black since I didn't have anything better to do

I didn't like the brown color, so I went to O'Reilly's (use to be Checker) and bought some low gloss engine paint. I even painted top of my engine too. I had a hard time with masking off around coolant tank, but its good enough for me. It looks better in real life than in the pictures.

It's too bad I had to put on my old intake back on, the chrome one didn't have a connection for the hose on my engine, it made my car idle really bad.

I'm waiting on new wheels. I going to post them on this thread when I install them.

It looks better black for sure but I would tidy up and clean the overspray. A lot of that stuff you sprayed isn't hard to lift up enough or wrap in plastic.

It shouldn't be that difficult to clean that up a bit

Thanks guys, I will probably try to make it better today. I think I can clean up the over spray, not much really just on the fender and battery.

I finally got my new wheels in, I need to put on the center caps still, but I need smaller lug nuts to clear the caps. Tell me what you think!

Wow those wheels are so nice! I love those, the black with chrome accents looks fantastic.

I wanna do the roof black and rest of the car the stock color, but I'm kinda too broke for a paint job. I might just do the $50 paint job since this is my only car and I can't have it down since I do have a full time job. I needed a paint job since 2008, the hood and body kit is still just flat black primer
