Default B4 and After

BEFORE



AFTER
Most H-T members advised against this change, but I a still open for opinions. Also, I have been trying to change the brake pads for my rear brakes, but have been unsuccessful, is there a trick to this? I cannot get the caliper to relax enough to fit over the new pads and rotors.



I actually preferred to have my door jams color matched but I was really liking the black engine bay so I left this untouched.

Ew they painted the grill inserts on the bumper..it doesnt look right with the cf hood.

I dont like the tail lights either..but whatever floats your boat.

Black was better. But owning a black car before, them bitches are hard to keep clean. I would say good job on the paint job but yeah, the white grill needs to be painted black again. Use black bumper trim paint.
