hey spud. just a question about the paint on the car? do you have a buffer or anything? i used to work in a detail shop i could give you some tips to make the paint look almost new again. i noticed it was kinda dull. and yes even through the dirt i can see its dull.

no i dont have a buffer.....though it is on my list of stuff to get eventually...
it is kinda dull, but it cleans up nice when its washed....but not nice enough[&:]

the taillights dont look too bad but it sure was alot of work to get the clean plastic off.....my hands still hurt[8D]

I had a set of tail lights like that spud but were crome. Someone backed into me and broke the drivers lens out of it. It heald up good only problem was the crome started to flake off after a period of time.

i thought about getting the chrome ones at 1st, but then i just figure that the darker colors would look better with the red since i didnt have any other chrome on the car

I think you need to leave the lights alone and get to work on that engine again!
