Hey guys this was bugging me on my car and I found some black acrylic paint lying around so I painted it on, lol I dont' know what the old stuff was. A lot of it was just flaking off.

Before:

Any suggestions on exterior? I was going to save up for a new paint job b/c of horrible oxidation on the roof. But most of it came off with using the green steel wool stuff, I wouldn't recommend it unless your car is silver though. It's a little bit darker on top where I sanded, but it doesn't show near as much as the white did. Then I did a full car wax and the paint looks decent again.

Thanks...I don't know. My dad's friend did the tint...so my dad told him to do it as dark as he could with still being legal. The back window and rear quarter panel windows are darker than the driver and passenger sides.

I'd lower it, but i'd get a kit to lower the front more than the rear (or coilovers)

like a 1.5" drop in the front and a 1" or less drop in the rear...

I wouldn't change the spoiler (imho)... i like the stock low rise look...

but maybe i'd get new exhaust tips put on or a new muffler

looks like a nice ride, enjoy

Thanks! But ya, there was something black on it before. Because I used a putty knife and lots of pieces just kind of pulled off evenly. It was on both sides of the car.
