This weekend I'll be adding some bling to Marauderman's MM. If anyone in the area wants to stop by, feel free to do so. I'll have plenty of beer and other refreshments available. PM me for phone number, address & directions. We can most likely get some other work in....

Well folks, the weekend trip to be with fastblackmerc was very successful.. Got alot of BLING done--The rear brake lens were painted black along with the back-up's... we also replaced the fog lights with H-1's and added full screening in the front and under carriage---and chin spoiler--here are some pics:

I'm not sure that I would do the same to my car, but I LOVE the red stripe, letters, and brake rotors on that car.

I think that's the best looking Marauder front end I've ever seen.

Here 2 addition lights are being electrically added to each brake lens--




Just wondering what he is actually doing, Increasing the brightness of the brake or to the Running light of the tail light assembly...And also, are the LED's or Filiment?

Actually--Both--Since we darken the lens , the factory lens has two additional places to add two more lights-so I chose to add the standard lights -(not as $$ as the LED's---but "fast" has those-) -this allows for the lower red area to have a nice lighted area that is not there normally---and shows up where you need it cause of the darkened paint we added--it is a must if you darken your lens IMOP.----
Does this help you ??

Thanks--I do too--I think it sets it apart and actually seems to be alot more recognizable than you'd think--cause I get alot of comments about that -( all of the red items)...so again-thanks--Thats what I thougth and then I did it--

Glad you like it --

Used Duplicolor Universal black and clearcoat, multiple coats of each. After appying the black I removed the tape and clearcoated the entire lenses assembly.

The car looks great! Can you tell me about the grill? Where did you get it? Is it a direct fit / replacement? Thanks , Vince.

Don't bother to ask Zack to make another one.

I already asked. He won't.

Not even for one of his fellow Blues Bros.:(

It's all in the preparation!

Cleaning all the old wax, grease, road grime, etc. off the lenses.

Meticulous taping off.

Lite sanding.

Multiple coats of color.

Multiple coats of clear.

If you've never done it before.... take it to a pro......
