Greetings! I am new here, and am so glad I found a Dodge Website! I just recently aquired an 1985 Dodge Aries that was being pretty badly maintained. I am trying to do some simple things to it for now just to bring up the appearance a bit. Have already made a pretty big change in under a week. Other than new tires and hubcaps I have been thinking of painting the fenders black. Anyone have photos of this done? I'd love to see it before I do it.

I cleaned it out really well and got some seat covers and it made a huge difference

I also have removed about 1/4 of the pinstriping with a hairdryer and my fingernail. I was going to replace it with black but now I think I will like it better either without it.

Okay, so if anyone has any suggestion/comments/ideas I'd love to hear!

Thanks in advance and take care, Lara

I like the seat covers. And I also like it better without the pin-striping.

 

Nice find! Looks better with out the stripes. I wouldnt paint the fenders black, bring it back as close to original as possible. The Ks are considered rare. I have an 87 coupe in showroom condition, 7500 made and roughly 926 left today. Here is a link to the K car club as well as a link to a page on their site that lists how many Ks were made and how many are roughly left today.

Hope these help you out.

Enjoy the site and enjoy your K!!!

 

Wonderful, thanks for the links and suggestions!
