i got them from a guy who makes stickers .. duh


custom made through JS Graphics. take FOREVER to recieve, but very happy with the stickers. another member here took my ideas and got the stickers too .. he even put the facelift "Down N Out" sticker on his early model

the Ground Control stickers are of course direct from GC.

my gf just sent me some quality photos from the other day, will post in a minute

here you go again ..

after you first saw it .. you mean after i first showed you. you had no plans to order a so good or down and out. i told you to ask him for my down n outs so i could finally get them, then i asked if he could make me 2 so goods .. then you decided **** i need these now .. after i had already asked to have them made.

everyone who is at my house 24-7 and does everything i do after i have done it is stealing my ideas .. yes.

if i told you to put the down n out sticker upside-down because that would look cool you prolly would have. i will keep future ideas to myself so when you buy the exact same thing after me its VERY clear you copy everything i do

I have a black interior in my parts vehicle, but it's quite horrid. The seats are torn up, some panels are missing/destroyed from the previous owners, and the carpet is wasted. I did remove the arm-rests from the doors though, and I'm thinking of putting them onto my tan interior, ha! They might look better than the faded ones.

I'm thinking of maybe starting a thread for my project too.

euro grills have an almost "eyebrow" looking piece that continues over the light sections. standard US grills have that area cut out
