Even though you are, at times, a useless addition to this forum, you have proven yourself to be quite handy. I'd expect nothing less from you. Lookin' good. ;)

I agree. It really did come out nice, I was thinking this thread was gonna be full of fail but I'm pleasantly suprised.

VERY well done!

If you plan on keeping the stock brakes I'd spray the calipers flat black. :)

Yooo thanks man. I was scared the lines were going to be jagged and retarded.
I used this to mask the lines. It is good to get clean lines and contours the curves really well.

Also, I unmasked while the paint was a little wet. Don't know if that helped, but that's what I did.

it does help but if you pull too soon the paint can potentially stretch like hot glue and string. so good job again not having to deal with that.

Jordo!

Scuff.........?

It really looks great. I just did somewhat the same thing. But I installed a painted JP Lip also at the same time. BTW, did you scuff the areas that were to be painted?

:tiphat:

Thanks a lot for the compliments guys!
I'm not a car literate person, but reading this forum has helped me a bunch.

@mspeasl: Yea! I scuffed it. The spray paint said no prep/sanding needed for plastics, but I did it anyways just to be sure :)
@z34guy: Ah man, Thanks for your concern :] People can flame me all they want, but they don't bother me. I have a life. Compliments are appreciated and I will remember them :]!

The car definitely looks WAY better with this. It's not so rounded. Breaks the lines up really good and highlights the curves more. The back is a big improvement, not so fat anymore. The front just looks sick. However, I need the bottom chin spoiler :p If anybody has one they want to get rid of send it to me!
