9 hours later, almost done with bumpers (new pics pg. 2)

You are getting smoked turnsignals though. You could use LaminX on the side markers.

Do they make smoked LaminX? I wasn't aware.

ColdAccord, just wait until I get the front airdam back on, and have the paint detailed. It will look worlds better. Just picture my sig, but with black bumpers. :up:

I ordered the new clips for the side moldings, I'm going to paint those this weekend. They look AWFUL.

Hell yeah they have smoked Lamin X. It's cheap too.

Looking good Josh. Between the tuck and the paint they look as good as plastics imho.

Great job!

I didn't know you had a pin stripe. Orr never noticed.

And foam tape why didn't I think of that.

Can't wait to see it all together.

I'd be sad knowing that you'll never get that 11+ hours of your life back, if I were you.

:(

I'm thinking about having the bumpers done with gloss to match the car, and leaving the trim and shrouds satin.

Ahhh... So you took my advice. :) There is just too much satin up front. Looks like you just sprayed it all in place. Needs some contrast.

Not to say it doesn't look great, but It hink it would look better with gloss on the bumpers.

Maybe you would be, but I'm not. They were well spent, and I'm very pleased with the results. I had a good time doing it, I enjoy working on my car and making it look good.

Pretty pessimistic attitude there, Chris.

Psh, I'd rattle can mine black, but I'm not gonna bother. They've been unhooked since I bought the car - so, why not? ;)

Thanks, Steve. I do take a lot of pride in my car. I'm proud of it, I enjoy it a lot, and I enjoy making it look good.

[Jean]

That was actually an empty kitty litter container, but yeah, it's weird how some things make great drying racks, like the handle of my lawnmower. I got all kinds of shit on that thing!
