More ghetto mod action

I was looking at stuff for the car, and saw the rear bumper inserts to fill in the letters that are inset in the rear bumper. so, since im cheap, i picked up the little bottle of touch up paint i have and went at it



And heres the mileage as of today:



yeah im bored at work.

duct tape requires careful cutting and im lazy. the curves on the letters would be a pain in the ass to cut too. plus duct tape is even more ghetto if you ask me

yes...its hard to get it in a picture, i know. if i use a flash i get relection off the paint and the license plate and that ****s it all up, if i do it in the sun i get all kinds of crappy shadows and stuff, its a pain in the ass. it looks good in person
