Thinking about trading in the CR-Z for a Fiat 500 Abarth, thoughts?

[DetailKitty]

Because I'm so impatient, I grabbed a foam pad, squirted a little QD on it and added a little bit of Meg's UC and did the middle section of my hood. Once I got to work it was high noon and to my surprise just applying it by hand the Meg's UC removed a large percentage of the light swirls, so I'm pretty sure the Fiat paint is on the soft side. It was very sunny today and my God is there a lot of metallic in the paint of my car, can't wait to make every single flake POP!

Oh yeah, like I needed another LSP, I have the just released DG Enviroshield coating kit coming my way, just intime, can't wait to try it out on the Abarth, polish the little onyx car to an incredible shine!

Ahhh, issues at the dealership. Well I had NO issues with the dealership today at all, free oil change courtesy of my buddy and he even offered to install my head and fog bulbs in for me

How about adding a Fumoto valve next time you get under there. Makes oil changing a breeze.

Probably one of my favorite mods of all time.

So today I did a rinseless, another Speedy Prep towel wiping, then, by hand, M101 because I was short on time and finished with a coat of DG AW....

"Joey mod", old school term! When I was on the Contour forum we called it "Hightower lights", the guy whom did it for forum members. I will be trying to do that trade for sure because $500+ is a lot, and that's cost, 500 Madness has em' for $700, then you need the tails, I sent mine back.

Monica, what do you think about red translucent vinyl for the tails like I did to my CR-Z for the 500?

I am old school!
Hey, I stuck my $1,200(each) xenon lights in the oven, broke them open and painted them

I think on your car it would work with the red.... A little red accent will go a long way on your baby

Well here's what a 500 turbo model looks with them, comes standard on them, optional on the Abarth for the 2014 model year:






Here's the back with the tails trimmed in black on the turbo model



Here's the entire kit to do the transformation




....and as you can see in this pic, the black head and parking light housings don't look as good on light colored car like silver, this is where I hope I can "convince" someone to do the swap with me, I'm willing to travel to get this done and bring my buddy with me to help with the swap too!



When I put my mind to things I always find a way to get what I want but in the meantime I'm going to wrap the tails in the red translucent vinyl once it gets warm and stays that way.

Oh yeah... get those black headlights!!!!!!!

Looks great bud!!

Can't wait to see it in person.

Thanks Genesis, I'm sure it will be "up to snuff" by then and will not only look fast but will be fast(er) although with some of the cars that are going to be there I think term quick will be used, LOL!

Yeah Monica, the blackout conversion needs to happen and will, at some point. I know there's someone out there with those lights that likes the chrome better, I'll find em'!
