You're crazy, man. I like you, but you're crazy!

Did you at least mask off anything under the car?

I was debating doing the same on the rear reflectors (and front turn signals), looks good, I think I may go for it.

I left mine on also when I painted them. I covered the tips just like he did and no issues. Looks good all blacked out.

LQQK, can you do a step by step on the back lenes, and tell me where you got them? I"d like to do that if my white car ever shows up.... Thanks!

what about the front?

LQQK,

Did you do anything to the fronts?
I think I'd want to go clear / white on the front.

I thought about it but my main concern was fixing the C stripe.

I think smoked would look best for the fronts on a white car. Clear/white might not look bad, but I'm hesitant to suggest it since I haven't seen it in person yet.

I will, but there are so many pictures of the BOSS 302 / LS here that they all seem to be the same car unless it's been modded.

We have rain here (forecast for the next 7 days) so It's hiding in the garage-->

Well,,,I did what I always ask / tell people when they ask me for help with their Home-Theaters "PLEASE"-->"RTFM",,,

I removed the 3 screws on the mudflap with a stubby screwdriver, it was harder than you would think, because of close clearance between tire and flap, then I pulled the shroud apart that covers the bumper area to gain access to the marker lens, not hard but made me nervous that I would screw something up $$$$.

I took my owners manual with me on my trip (Round trip at the Railroad) on PAGE 66 it has instructions for replacing the the Bulb in the rear side marker lens with just a Flat Head Screw driver, all you have to do is FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS and pry the lens out for quick & easy access to the bulb or in my case replace the lens!

Moral of the story "ALWAYS" "READ THE FU_CKING MANUAL"

Should have masked off the rear bumper and painted that tag black too
