yea i orderes the original one off ebay thanks bro

 

Awesome! Can't wait to see the finished product!

 

thanks me either im debating cuase i dont have the sir body molding neither the rear bumper just the fender and the front bumper but ne ways i was thinking of painting the moldings black all around or should i paint them the same color of the car?

 

Nice work!

With the molding I would said do what you want, do you want it to add contrast or blend in?

 

i really dont care the barcelona green pearl is close to black so its not gonna contrast

 

If it's that close, I would just go with the green for everything. If there's no contrast it won't look that cool.

 

yea thats wat ima do cuase its not gonna contrast so ima paint em the same color as the car

 

looks good cant wait to see it finished
