Default FINALLY GOT MY CAR PAINTED!!!

Finally got my car painted!!!!! Still gotta install the CTR rear lip after I move my exhaust. I donno if I like the fact that they painted my grille and "air ducts" too, looks clean tho. I will be putting on the rear lip when I have my exhaust lowered a bit.

Painted: CTR F&R lips, CTR wing, mirrors, handles, moulding, Licence surround, CTR grille, FACT. side skirts. Looks 2 tone by the door, iy's cause of the light/half *** wax job. And yes, I know, <FONT SIZE="4">I NEED WHEELS!!!</FONT>


Before





AFTER!!!!

wrong forum, and in the last pic, the color seems to be not matched

I know you said it's not waxed, but it looks REALLY off color

Looks good except the painted grilles and the front lip looks like it fits horribly from the pics.

Car would look a lot better if the grill in the front wasn't painted white.
But other than that, paint looks pretty good

Yeah, when I go back to get it wetsanded, i'm gonna ask about getting them sprayed black. I'm not worried about the side grilles, they'll be mostly covered by my fogs (when I get them). I have walked around my car several times and that differentistion in color cannot be seen. It's wierd! Right now i'm gonna concentrate on getting some wheels.

I'd also get some Spoom mirrors too. The stock EK mirrors just look too big. My .02.

looks cool but why do people keep neglecting to mask off the **** on the front.

am i the only one who learns from others mistakes?

its only been done on about a thousand threads in this section.

prepping and repainting that **** is such an unneccessary hassle.

i think the paint not matching is just the angles of the pics.
