after endless searching, i finally found a local guy to do headlight painting. i had him paint the headlights and grille satin black:





i kept the emblem chrome to keep a little consistency with the wheels and door handles. the grille was a last minute decision to make it different from my previous years. i think i did the right thing.

i just turned 40 recently and with the tight parking im dealing with at work for nearly 9 years with my fx, im looking into replacing her with a smaller ride. wife ok with it with reservations. im already shopping around, and at the same time cleaning my ride for the next owner. im hoping to get the most value via private sale (socal folks let me know if you are interested). i dont think i can replace her, but i have a prospect already that looks like a "mini-me" version of it.
