Looks good on the ex-zebra. My friend had those on his sunfire, beautiful wheels. Nice choice.
Post pics up when you clean that baby.

After you do that, take $20 and buy yourself a decent jack! :facepalm:

I have a decent jack but with the BG's and the Roush Kit it doesnt fit under the car. The stock one does. So I use the stock on to raise the car enough to fit the regular jack under it. Which works better than my old methood of driving ontop of 2 phone books (1 per wheel) so that i can fit the jack under.:rofl:

my friend owns a vynal shop. He made it for me. I have a whole stack of them in different sizes. Anyone want some? he can make anything to, if your interested, including photo realistic prints on vynal. ( kinda like what racerx has)
I was thinking about the light covers but im not sure. I was thinking about the night shade to but once again Im not sure yet.

Go with the covers like mine, it's real simple and would look good.

That and black just kind of screams for covers...

i like the fact the zebra roush is no more. i wasn't really feelin the zebra stripes ...sorry imho
papatedroach
04-20-2008, 03:01 PM
yeah the strips had to come off, the vynal was turning pink and looking like crap. They have been off for a few months now. It does look alot better without them. I was just so used to them. They were there for 3 years.
fordrule
04-20-2008, 03:44 PM
i could be mistaken but in one of the pics u can see the outlines of the stripes. maybe a good claybaring and a good wax can get the lines to disappear
papatedroach
04-20-2008, 04:36 PM
Yeah you can see dull spots on the car where i had to use bug and tar remover to get the glue off. I bought rubbing compound and claybar. I just havent had a chance to do it yet. I pulled the strips off on a sunny day this winter and havent had time yet to do it since it got nice out again. Its hard when u live in an apartment to do those things.

Yeah thats on the list of stuff that needs done. Not sure if it is even fixable, i might just need a new hatch, I also have a nice little crunch on the quater panel to from a hit and run. So the ex-zebra has been needing some body work for a while now.
