Now that you are tricking out your super awesome Tycoon (wait, Tyclone. Tycoon sounds better. lol) maybe you should dabble in tricking out that HHR and that BMW. I would like to see you try and put a fully functional system in the HHR. lol.

Project fender flare is well under way. I have the front both trimmed and got all four of them washed, sanded, and primed.
While we were at it we, took the freshly blasted door handles and primed them.

While we paint the flares and handles, we need to paint everything else so we can be done with it. The list... *gulp*
- Repaint the grille, right stripe doesnt line up with bumper stripe
- repaint left bumperette, clear was sprayed dry on the top.
- repaint right bumperette, I gouged it trimming the flare (dangit)
- Repaint hood, repair stripes on front and fix where I burned through wet sanding it
- repaint tailgate, repair stripes on front and fix where I burned through wet sanding it
- Repaint left fender, BAD sanding scratches visible and I cant live with them
- repaint roll pan, repair stripes in corner
That should just about do it for paint!

I needed to pull the fenders "one last time"... Man Im good at putting it together and taking it apart now. lol
I'm painting one fender and I need to install the stock baffles by the A-pillars in both fenders.
----------
Here is a peek at what my stripes look like up close. Just a few strips of WIDE pinstripes we had left over from some old project. Looks like I will go with Grand Sport width which is 2 3/4" wide and a 3/4 inch gap in between. Im going to lean them a bit more like the Vette as well.

So after deciding to redo most of the parts for little issues...
Got most everything repainted and fixed.
The stripes came out looking great!
Slick! Can wait to see it after its wet sanded and buffed!!
We have a few things left to go. The flares are smoothed and fixed!
