    spent some time fixing up the b pillar trim as the faux carbon fiber pattern from the factory has worn of after 10 years of use.

    3M DiNoc Carbon fiber stuff just wrapped around them, took them off so I could do the job properly

    BEFORE













    came out nice and was only $10 bucks worth of 3M stuff

        thanks man. I hope they can help out people who may have the same cars. I always look for advise on the net on how to do things so i try and contribute haha

        A few things left to do on the C43;

        Lower the front
        Replace drivers side skirt (if I EVER find one for sale)

        then I guess from there I'll see what else needs to be done

          hahaha thats weird. Theres a c43 being sold right by me and I was thinking about getting it and slamming it, but im going in a different direction, umm that direction I do not know haha but ill figure something out. Im off topic, so this looks like its got potential though, count me in as subscribed cant wait to see the finished product.

            Thanks! They are amazing cars with a brutish sound when stomped on and still gets 21-24mpg. Not bad.

            What do you think you might buy now? I always wanted to own a V8 and I'm glad I did, there is nothing like it

            I may play more with the fitment on this next year but it's getting time to take a breather with the wallet.. this and the 68 benz have been very lucky this year so they are soon due for a rest haha

                            Well im trying to get something cheap but can still slam, and also its got to be able to be a daily in chi-city. Not the best place to have a slammed car but we make it work. Might go with a Toyota Corolla to be honest, Ik that doesnt sound so promising but I have done some research and ive found some very clean ones, or im gonna go with a Hyundai Genesis coupe and go for speed and slam and the last idea is a VW sport wagon and then put it on some bags and probably some Rotiform wheels FTW!

                            So those are my ideas on some cars, but as of right now im just drivin my Dodge Nitro which is not a bad car and its been good to me.

                              As tempting as new cars are I can't get past used euro's. so much bang for buck!!

                              good luck with whatever you decide on!

                                I can agree with that to, and im not getting a new car its gonna be used. Unless I got an amazing deal on a car but otherwise sticking to used
