Wow Dave it's really coming out great, the darker trim pieces really make it POP. Feel any difference with the tie bar?? You know what I'd love to see..is some darker rims on it... same size or 1" bigger, But that's just me! It looks fantastic as is. Keep up the great work, feel free to come down and work on my cars whenever your want

Thanks guys.

It was such a bitch freeing up the bolts for the tie bar all I did was take those picks then took a nap until now. lol I honestly have no Idea.

The wheels do look a tad out of place. I can always repaint if I see it necessary in the future. Very easy wheel to do so on.

What I am kicking myself over is not bidding on some 2inch lowering springs a guy had up on ebay from the escort forums. Now that would look killer.

Up next is is trim black Escort GT side skirts...Repainting the bumpers and trim blacking the lines in the bumper as well as the very base.

Door handles trim black in the future as well.

I like tinted taillights, but it always seemed unbalanced to me when the headlights and front corners weren't tinted. The black bug deflector helps balance some though. Any thoughts of doing a light tint in the front? And with the black sail panel and the black spoiler, it almost looks like there should be a black stripe connecting the two...

I am thinking about resealing the orange front corners (they leaked) then nite shading them to put up for sale...Can always throw them on quick to see...but the deflector does help even it out.

As far as stripes go. No. I see what ya mean but I ain't feeling it.

Was just an observation, 'tis all. Looking at the side view again...it could even extend forward for the windows to connect with the bug deflector. Kinda like a big wrap around pinstripe.

Looking good dave mang are the tail lights still visable enough with the night shade?

[packman]

Nice! So when's the turbo going to get installed?


Packman

[87gtVIC]

NO turbo eva.

Gabe, yes...at least in my eyes the lights shine through fine. But I am not the law.

[packman]

Oh.........you know you want it. You can keep fighting it, but it will happen

I really like the clear front corners makes it look European. actually you did a nice job on the nightshade I can see it's not completely black. I just hate when people but too much black then you can't see anything lol

Thanks Gabe.

Installed my custom painted rear license plate frame as well as a neato smoked/black Escort LX emblem this afternoon!
