2001 Lapis Blue just back from giving her a bath!

Was out for a top down drive this morning (enjoying the mid 70s here in SoCal) and then it was off to clean her up. Have made a few improvements front and back over the past few months...
-Had my bumperettes painted to match (was a little worried how they would look against an almost 13 yr old cars paint job..but was pleasantly surprised how awesome they look)
-Replaced my headlights with a set of litronics..love how it looks! (so happy to get rid of the orange eye sore)
-Put on aluminum Porsche pedal pads...just a little added touch.
-Updated the door pulls with silver/aluminum ones.
-Changed the dash gauge with an 'S' model, silver rings and tach backing...(just replaced the center tach with the silver backing as the speedo is not the same the 'S' goes to 175).
-Also did the door panel armrests in leather (not sure if I am going to keep them, did not quite come out as nice as I would have liked. Might just paint them silver to match the door pulls.
So she is all ready to go!! Will be heading out to Motor 4 Toys tomorrow in Woodland Hills, CA for the annual toy drive and car show, so if anyone is in the area stop by and bring a toy!!

Looking good! Love the white on blue

Do I detect a hint of orange in those Lits? Shame!

Thanks Particle...almost 200 views on the post and you were the only one to comment! I have been pretty happy with the way it all came out, the contrast of the white and blue is great. I have to take a look at the lights, I think the bulbs have that orange tint to them, will have to get those replaced. Thanks for looking!

Eh, those 200+ are just speechless
Amber bulbs or not, it still looks very sharp!

I love the color of your car. One of my favorites!

I sure wish my paint was in as good a condition as yours
