Yeah I've had them on a previous car, they are alright for what they are.

Cheers for photo Mick, that looks cool, nice stance on it too.

Me personally I'd do the bare minimum to it if you plan on tearing it down later. Just means extra sanding later! Save your money and buy real white walls :mrgreen:

Bit of a rub back wiith wet & dry and a couple of coats of clear satin should get you there. Simple. Then the jambs will all be the same colour.

Love the buick. Hope my future 2 door project will look as cool.

As for goatees and flat black cars- I grew a goatee after the nineties just cos I always wanted to- I still want a flat black car because I haven't ever owned one - isn't trendy is trendy isn't it? :roll:
