Orange fog light tints.....
Shouldn't you be over the mid-life crisis?

On another note, back 15 years ago when light tinting was a side-gig for me I learned that you can polish with an orbital on medium speed and polishing compound and not only it will set the film better but it will gloss it up as well.

That's Oracal amber window tint over the lenses of Morimoto LED fog light assemblies. It's been that way for over a decade, BULL.

Not sure what the mid-life crisis is all about, but those orange colored fogs aren't going anywhere. At the 5 year point or thereabouts, I redid the tint. Haven't done it since because the car just isn't driven enough to damage the tint. I love the look of those fogs.

You really, really don't like orange. LOL

I believe is because there arent too many pictures of your fogs and/or I might not have noticed until the Ultra Phoenix accents.

It's the dove for me, the engine cover and calipers are on such another level, the fogs.... maybe if you polished the tint (trust me) they would stand out even more in a good way.

That was on a causeway over a lake in Meadville, PA. One of my favorite pics, too, because the hero of the pic is the design of the G itself, not whatever little visual mods. I mean, the G is a good looking design, 14 years after the 2010+ model. Anyway, I'm still liking it.

And now we see the original source of your orange leanings - those NY plates. Yes, still a lovely looking car.

Actually, it was this car over 40 years ago. Originally a dark red, I had it painted Corvette orange in summer of 1982. Wish I had better pictures, but that was a long time ago.

All kinds of bling and decals and gold-plated Cragar SS wheels... but a lame 250ci straight six with a 3-speed automatic. Don't hate me, I was 18.

A full-sized, screaming chicken hood decal. Yes, that happened, LOL.

Cragar SS wheels were the goto back then, I preferred Weld wheels, but they cost alot more.

The Cragars look better with deep dish on the back. Some air shocks. Physical Graffiti playing on the Sparkomatic radio.

I had knockoff Weld Wheels on my Chevelle. Can't recall who made them, but I seem to recall it was the parent company that made Cragars as there was only 3-4 companies that even made custom wheels back then?



OMG. You can still find an Sparkomatic SR3200 in the box on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/15621669107...xoCGPUQAvD_BwE
