haha, nobody saw this one coming... took three weeks to do. Had to razorblade all of the old spraypaint off, then sand it all. Then i used the primer Lordco gave me to cover bare metal spots. But the retards gave me the wrong stuff, so I had to reprimer the car. Then sanded down the primer, and painted it with an hvlp in a downdraft booth. Paint is a factory 2004 Ford Ranger color.

Nice job! I usually don't say this, but I think some S5 tails would really top it off.

As well as the moldings.


Yellow's not my thing, but you did a really nice job on it.

Please paint the black trim body color. It looks unfinished with the trim on the bumpers being yellow and then black on the sides. Other than that it looks pretty good. I've never been a fan of that yellow really, but if you like it thats all that matters.

I'm on the fence regarding the molding. I kinda like the "bumblebee" effect it has, but I think it should all be black or all yellow. Still looks better than my car! Oxidation F T L

i will be finishing the black around on the bumpers as well, to complete the stripe all the way around the car.

As for the tails, i find the s4 tails look so much better than s5's... i dunno, just me i guess I just changed the signals to red to make them a *little* unique and i love it..

but thanks for all the good comments guys

i agree on the S4 tails when painted to match the car. on a white FC white S4 tails own! S5 tails look boring during the day
