The pics: kinda grainy, but you get the idea
Okay, for better or for worse, these are the changes on my 84. The paint doesn't look much better in the new pic because the original pic was taken in very bright light and made it look better and more even than it was...Anyway...
 And the old way...

Kurt, you already had the whole car repainted??
If so, that was fast! Did you end up taking off all the bumpers, trim, etc? How'd it go? |

Went with one piece tail, no rubber lip; the rubber lip makes the tail look too big, and frankly, I want it to look like it fits and is less noticeable.
I spent the weekend taking everything off. What a nightmare that was...someone said a few hours; guy must have been dreaming, and I sanded and stuff the places I wanted to get at. Basically, did their job for them, and it only took a week for them to do it (they were impressed with the rubberless, topless, door panelless car they got!) They still f'ed up some spots, but basically this car is a daily driver that I use and abuse. I want it to look good, but it's not a garage princess. In other words, I can hang with the 1200$ paint job! The tail I have weighs around 25 lbs maybe? The front spoiler another 3 or 4 lbs. ------------------ Kurt B '84 Carrera Cab. carrera_cabriolet@yahoo.com |

Lookin' good, Kurt! Is that a different front valence you got on there? IMHO the European headlights makes the car look better!

Nice looking, Kurt! But what amazes me is how you got all that trim off and on again so quickly. Watch out...some body shop will snatch you off the street!
