Got some work done on the car this weekend. First was the little “home depot” lip. When most people do a “home depot” lip they use garden liner. I did the same, but didn’t like it at all. It was flimsy, wavy, and just didn’t work. So I went browsing through the store again and came across what you see here. Its a think, plastic liner that is typically used for a screen doors. As you can see, it looks much better, is much stronger and doesn’t create any kind of wrinkles or waves.

Next on the list was to makes some progress with the vinyl wrap. I had a few places that I missed on the driver’s side. So I tackled those and then completed the passenger side door.

I also got around to repainting our wheels. I really been digging black wheels with the red pin stripe around the outer edge. And since Im poor….. I created my own. Black paint and red electrical tape can work wonders on 20 year old wheels. Have a look.

Are black wheels on a drift car cliche? Yes. Do I give a damn? No.
Overall, I think the car is turning out to be pretty gangster considering Ive spent less than $100 and couple of trips to Home Depot. DIY is a way of life.

I have a deadline coming up at the end of the week, so expect to see a lot more updates over the next few days.
