Any tips on how to re-new the plastic on the fenders? mines faded somewhat.

i painted the plastic on my bumpers with Krylon Fusion. when i wash it i spray some turtle wax Ice on them and it seems to look pretty nice. there are some black restorers i have seen. like Back to Black. you could try some of that too.



i like the black rims alot better!
 






yupp.. used to be chrome, they started to flake so i decided to get them done black.. $500 thru a local shop for the paint on the wheels
 






Looks very, very, nice. Are your rims painted or powder coated? I would like to make mine 2 toned black and chrome.
