Default Finally able to wash the baby with the warm weather

So I got my wisdom teeth out on Friday morning and I wasn't feeling too bad today, so I got out and took my time on cleaning her up, took these with my phone,but going to drive somewhere tomorrow and take some good pictures. I'm on the heavy pain pills, so I decided even though I wasn't feeling bad I wouldn't be driving, since it was because the pills that I wasn't feeling it.

I also got the eyelids from AirWolf on here, she sent me some black ones. So I took them up to a local sign place and had them copied in Silver. I put the black ones on first and then put the silver over them; I got this idea from Revolution Motorsports because they send you a black pair for free with any purchase of them to block out more lights. It was my FIRST vinyl application and didn't think it went half-bad at all. I was lucky though, cuz when I got the tint done the person left the little squeegee piece in the back seat, so using that on the headlights, made it go pretty easy! Instead of buying one at the local auto store for I think $5 something. I also did use some adhesive spray, only a few squirts from walmart, that was $1.95. Otherwise it came out pretty well. I just put on my new tires, kumho ecsta AST's, on the rear. I have to get two more in the next couple of weeks, in the front I have "defenders".. So I mean for right now, I'm pretty pleased. My next addition is new brakes on the front because they squeal every morning or when the car sits for more than an hour (they rust quick, apparently a problem among our neon's)... I think after that is, a CAI. And then back to some show mods, being speakers and sub. I saw some Sony speakers at circuit city real cheap if any of you are looking!!

Circuit City has a sale on Sony Car speakers 50% off each pair when you buy 2 pairs. You can mix and match different pairs. Store pick up is available, and shipping is free on $24+ orders. Thanks pzztgotbagz Eligible speakers (prices after 50% off): [ul][*]Sony 4" x 6" 4-Way Speakers (SXV4642A) $20

thanks! and well the lids I can thank you for! they worked out great, the black ones i got remade into silver and then the silver ones over it, total was $10...not bad! I told the sign place that I got them for $5 so I asked if they could do the silver set for $5 and they said not a problem! It was awesome! :-)

I really want to do a little interior work too--going for a red/black motif inside. Still debating on what is next. I know I want a sound upgrade, but still looking around for my interior ideas... If anyone has some, shoot them my way!
