btw it was done quickly with duplicolor temporary spray on paint... like 5 bucks at advanced auto parts.... a nice way to test out a new paintjob before its permanent

I like.

I also like lDUBs tail lights. Anyone know what is outlining the lights? Or the knobs on his spoiler.

Looks good.

So how do you get the duplicolor off?
I've been thinking of going with a dark hood on the ironman.

I like it. I also like Ldubs paint on the front end. It looks great on the Silver VXs.

Just make sure you don't tip over and knock off your mirror. I liked all of Dubster's mods, but that one I am still a little iffy on. :p

I like alot.........but i noticed something ive never noticed before. and maybe i just, and i mean this in a good way......:eek: but i see ALOT of amigo, a very ADVANCED amigo, when that back pillar is painted black. and like i said, i like it, heck, i own my first amigo still, (working on it again to get it road worthy)..... but i just never "got it" i guess what did it, is the back and side glass look solid, or you just kinda "dont see em" hinting to the "amigo" pillar on the roof......ill quit, but i really DO like it.:)




very sneaky paint mod ;) good idea with the removeable paint..........




hmmmmm :rolleyes:

Thanx all...it continually amazes me that anyone wants to copy any of my mildly crazed ideas... :rolleyes:

The c-pillar paint idea came to me originally because I like the lines of the Amigo w/o the top so much...also, because I always thought the VX looks too heavy /bulky /just plain BIG in the rear.

Bart, this is the OTHER mod you don't want to copy:

JH, The tail lights are trimmed in 3/8" chrome finish half round stick on moulding that I found at a NAPA store. (Prostripe protective body moulding)
I've also seen it (different brand) at O'reilly's.
That's now a moot point, as I've stripped off all the chrome & am gonna do it over with the same moulding in black.
The little "aero thingys" (industry technical term) ;) were from Advance Auto or Auto Zone...heres a better pic...

LOL! Nice! I was wondering if you kept that little VX!

Man, I wish I was there for that.
