it looks a lot better now!

Brinkley · 09-26-2007, 07:19 PM

thats a hawt e30 in the background! LOL but on a serious note. i admire the job but i dont like it. i vote back to black

Davis · 09-26-2007, 10:18 PM

Thanks guys,

Haha I knew you would've noticed the E30 dude!! lol.

But yeah I got a little tired of it being all black. Sorta bored me or something. Who knows maybe down the road it's going back to black?

tksmr2 · 10-03-2007, 03:28 PM

Looks better all black.. by having an off color like that it excentuates the fact that your drivers side fender molding does not line up with you drivers side door molding were it meets.

Anyway.. looks better the way it is now that it did with the brighter color.

NJMR2Fan · 10-10-2007, 10:24 AM

The darker shade looks alot better than the lighter. I like it, adds some character.

Davis · 10-10-2007, 11:09 AM

Gairloch · 10-14-2007, 03:39 PM

I still don't know if I like it better than just black but I definitely like it a LOT more than the silver.

2restomod · 10-17-2007, 05:51 PM

So I'm a little late seeing this, but I like what you've done. I like that satin black color. Was this a two stage job or single stage? Nice work though.

Glad to see you like it better.

Thanks

and it was a two stage job, sort of ran out of clear coat near the end though...

nutty1 · 10-26-2007, 01:06 AM

probly brushed aluminum would look better, it will match the rims at least

Hiighboost2 · 11-02-2007, 06:37 AM

The darker silver looks pretty good.

MuMan · 11-02-2007, 08:56 AM

Don't listen to it...looks really great! Wouldn't be much point going to black, or even a darker color..and the yellow corners kinda work in with it, I don't think clears would add anything...
Damn..give the wheels the flick tho...

Davis · 11-02-2007, 12:44 PM

Heh, don't worry I have some wheels, just ummm no tires and no money.

GVR-4579 · 11-05-2007, 04:02 PM

I agree with both comments of maybe more accents and i also think the clears would help. I do think it looks good tho. And the darker grey looks better to me, however had you had clears in i think the silver may have looked alot better.

hmong337 · 11-07-2007, 08:35 PM

paint them black... that silver is whack. it'll look much cleaner if it was paint matched. looks ricey like how people paint their oem front lips and skirts white or something...

Oteck · 11-08-2007, 11:19 AM

not really feeling it, if you want more contras paint them yellow, heck even blue will look nice

Whoa, that's a little to much for me right there.

JJay · 11-21-2007, 11:17 PM

Just my 2 cents, but I don't like the color accent, but I know how it is when you want to do something to the car but don't have a lot of cash and you get bored. I painted all my lower sides that were black yellow to match my car. It looks more like I have groundeffects, but it puts more emphasis on the little 14 inch OEM stockers which I hate. I have to get some rims!!!

I think I would like the darker grey more if you had 17's on it IMHO.

I give you credit for trying something though and you did a good paint job.

Davis · 11-21-2007, 11:34 PM

lol Thanks dude, yeah I know what you mean about the 17s but those are long gone now. Plus, I don't think the moldings are going to be permanent..hehe.

Seeing from your teeny tiny sig, yours look nice.
