Thanks Damkid! It'll look even better after I:
-Get new tires, and paint the wheels gloss black
-Paint the LX side moldings
-Put the Red stripe on the front bumper and side moldings(like I did on the back bumper)
-Fix the rust spots
-Paint the spoiler black and mount it
-Paint the hatch red
-and some other things I forgot to list

Paint the spoiler black?? wouldn't you want it the same colour as the rest of the car?

Nope, I've seen Festivas with spoilers that aren't the same color as the body before, I think black would look cool since the rest of the car has a red/black color scheme. The bumpers and side moldings are black w/red stripe, the wheels will be black too. I think it'll look really nice when it's all done

It looks great so far. I look forward to seeing what all you do in the future to it.

Nice Update!


Not sure how anyone else feels, but maybe you should stick all your posts about OLD RED in ONE LARGE build thread from now on instead of making a new post every few days for every single update ?
