FINALLY!!! painted my bumper inserts after 9 months of it being painted incorrectly
well, my body shop never did a JDM conversion and I forgot to point out to them that the inserts were supposed to be black. I was going to have them repaint it when i got the car back but I had to goto a HT meet, btw which was pretty good. So i decided I'll just keep it like that until I have time to bring it back. Well, I got lazy and didnt feel like going back to bother them over at the body shop just to paint those little pieces so I finally got off my ***, went to pepboys (APC warehouse) and bought some flat black paint. I never knew it was so damn hard to mask stuff. well, it wasnt that hard but its 100 degrees here in NYC and my garage is even worse. I didnt want to paint outside b/c it was kinda windy. anyway, enough babbling... here are the pics. tell me how you think they came out. this is my first time painting anything my self.

I know it wasnt really needed to cover the whole front end, but i was paranoid about getting it on my car.

yea yea yea, I know!!! lol, I'm broke right now. I quit my job, plus I have so many other expenses. I spent a grand last month putting in my system, 1200 before that for new rotors, brake pads, and HID's... I'll eventually get one. And I'm worried if i get a lip, i'll mess it up b/c of NYC streets. car is already low enough, lip wont really help much.

chicken wire came with the bumper... (dont ask) the bumper isn't OEM JDM. I kept it there to keep my plate there.
