I did, I don't want them to be flat. It's going to give the same sort of contrast that the headlight buckets and tailight trim are going to give.

And shoot, if it doesn't work, I'll just spray the semi flat over it.

I was in APUSH, I have an 8 page paper on how we're NOT running out of oil in the world, and how OPEC IS screwing us from behind. I was hoping looking at a gas guzzler like this would give me some inspiration to continue my rant.

The gloss tailight bezels


I really like the way the 1/4 louveres look in gloss. It's staying this way

I was thinking about your car when I drew up the diffuser that I posted on the SN95 section. It would look sweet, especially since it would be part of the original design.

You know, you provoked this, and I think that we should at least try it, because you told me you wanted it so you would have the most aero II ever... in passing. Then I suggest something like this, and you shoot me down. It really is a tragedy in and of itself.

If not on yours, we should do it on mine, and yes, that thought did only occur to me just now. Haha.

Thanks John!

And Pete, when the hell did I ever say I was going for aerodynamics? My car will never be aero

We can try it on yours though, that'd be coolish
