^no just either a small latch or like a push magnet from like an enternament center. And wireing going to make a tight loom and make a new hole and run it through close to the hinge. And some what stock I'm keeping shaved handles goin to shave gas door and move it to behind taillight. And eventually do a retofit with headlights. Still no cd deck but a guy gave me a 600watt 4ch pioneer amp for jb his iPhone and instally windows 7 on his top. Prolly going to go buy a single vr12 from walmart 20 bucks lol 400 max like 120 Rms should be good for a little bass. And the interior I'm switching to leather and already installed Infiniti 8way power heated and lumbared seats. Well drivers is 8way pass is 2way. Then once I get rest of the enterior I'll die it all to match. Thinking like the saddle color out of the Saturn aura.

Has anyone cut there springs? Have lowering spring already and want to take a coil out in the rear to even it out? Will there be any dangers of ridding on it? Know it'll be a harser ride.

it came out clumpy??? low air presure, product mixed wrong, wrong size tip for what your doing, water in the line dude ya gotta stop taking 3 steps back the finished result will look like shit
there are steps to making a car look decent, edge all the parts put them on and get gaps, then prep the car for paint, if you dont have the correct compressor and the right material then just leave it alone dont put a single stage on and then come back and spray base and clear and think your going to have good results from that
before you do anything else let me help you and tell me what you sprayed on and what kind of gun with the tip size, and what product are you spraying

ok isnt that crap already mixed?? then it is air pressure fan patteren to closed, air pressure at the gun is too low causing it to run, and get cloudy
and the humidity also caused the problem your having traping moisture between coats, even in a booth dry times increase due to heat and humidity
or the wrong temp reducer using a low temp like lets say 70 temp the product is drying before it hits the panle, you would want to use a hot temp like 80-95 temp reducer it takes longer to dry but it takes the moisture out of the product while drying between coats
i guess i dont understand why you are always skimping out on a good product, ppg dbc system isnt that expensive and you wouldnt have the problems your having, and a good quality gun helps out allot too, the correct air pressure coming out of the air cap is so important to correctly atomize the product your spraying
base coat=1.3/1.4
primer & sealer=1.4/1.5
clear=1.5 no more then that
i spray on my satas regulator at 40psi which equals out at the air cap giving the correct atomization for the product, gun set up is also important preping before using a wax and grease remover like ppgs dx 330 or dx440
using a wrong towel to prep will cause fish eyes, cracks later on dirt lint free towels should be used wear gloves if the panel is not cleaned and your pawing it guess what you have problems
dude im here to help so you stop making mistakes

No fish eyes but yeah premixed car was fully wet sanded and then washed again with dawn dryed and the used tack cloth. Reason cheaping out once car is back 2gether going to sell it. And stuff really isn't that cheap. Going to try kirker paint will be cheaper once all said and done. And useing a friends gun also it's been like 99% humidity!
