Smile Rear Strut Bar Cover: Painting

Hey all,

Since I'm not going to include instructions on how I did it because literally all it took was a little sanding, and a few coats of paint, I figured I'd post it in this forum just to show off my work. The Z emblem was starting to chip, and you could tell the sun took it's toll on the plastic. So I decided to paint it black. Here is how it came out!

Tell me watcha think!

Thanks,
Justin

That's awfully hard to do when you're a full time college student and always on call for work! Gotta always be prepared for anything and everything.

I've done that once but was sure to put a blanket over the strut. However it may be beneficial for this semester to temporarily tint the rear windshield! Not a bad idea there my friend.

I hauled a clutch and flywheel for a semi in the back of my car before I put a stereo in it. I couldn't close the hatch but I only had to go 10 miles down the highway.

I've carried lots of **** in this car now. Lots of stuff from home depot, and even furniture items when helping my gf move.

Thing's I've carried in this car:

- A set of 18 inch rims with tires (two in the passenger seat, one right behind the two seats on top of the speakers, and one under the strut bar. Trunk closed too
- Sheets of plywood
- 30 kg bag of traction sand (using it as weight in the winter)
- Tools (of course)
- Water cooler
- I have a tv mount stand in there right now actually haha

I love a clean trunk so the present state of my trunk kills me: traction sand bag, plywood piece to hold the sand bag, emergency snow kits (shovel + traction pads), tool set, and a shopping buggy because I live in a condo and shop at Costco lol.

Hopefully in the summer time I won't have **** in there

I know it's dirty.. Eat me...I drive windows down 99% of the time and I park in a gravel lot at work. I can't clean it every week.
