Ok so here is my VY Acclaim which is a 2003 model. I have tinted the tail lights METHOD- with Nite Shade by applying three coats of Nite Shade to the tail lights then 6 coats of clear coat, then using 2000 grit sandpaper to sand down the clear coat to shine it up, followed by some Ultimate Compound to buff out the small scratches in the clear coat
I have removed the side plastic strips METHOD- simply pulling strips off the car followed by using a razor blade to remove the skidaflex then sanding down till smooth using various different sandpaper lowest grit to highest grit, the applied primer, then quicksilver paint (which was sadly the wrong colour lol!!! fail ), then clear coat, then compound and buff.
So tell me what you think of my car! Any improvements? Do you think I'm a idiot for painting a stripe down the middle of my car when I could of easily used a caramel wheel?(well i had to paint it anyway coz paint was missing underneath the plastic strips) Do you like the stripe? Do you like how I tinted the tail lights? Darker maybe? any comments?
INTERIOR:
I got it stock as a rock, aside from tinted windows.
Door inserts and top half of the interior in Black Velvet, like velour - but softer, really short pile? (brush it one way, its dark, the other its lighter?!!)
EXTERIOR:
De-badged
Nite Shade Tail lights (see pics)
Removed plastic side strips (see pics)
16" rims
