God damn man, you deserve that, keep it shining like it should, are you going to protect it from the get go with some good polishes like zaino or something of that nature? I wish I had gotten my car brand new and had the paint maintained correctly as that is the thing that bothers me the most with any car. Again, rock on man, can't wait to see it in its glory.

Jordan, are you leaving the bumper trim unpainted/black?

It will be painted with the same SEM black trim paint as all other black parts on my car. The sidemarkers have been shaved of course.

nice, did you drive home without a windshield?

Yes, no glass at all except the 2 front side windows. Very windy. Also no turn signals or any other lights (except headlights) and no mirrors. I kept looking in my mirrors that weren't there. It was annoying.

what did the total come to?

Dunno yet. I haven't paid a dime yet.

My thoughts exatcly. I think certain parts should be painted with SEM trim paint, like a shadowline, the bumper trims, part of the mirrors ( the fixed part attached to the door ), so on and so forth.

A license plate filler would also look nice, but that's all up to Jordan.

He's going to have the bumper trim, window trim, bumper diffuser all painted black. Plus with the grilles and smoked tails it'll be enough contrast.

Sounds just about right.... I'd still recommend the rear view mirror though. A couple of people here have done it.... I remember a white car and a silver car with it.... let me see if I can find a pic.

Edit: Andre did it.... I'm sure most of you have seen it. If my car wasnt black I would do it as well.

I don't really dig the half-black mirrors (and I know Jordan doesn't).

[e30Matt]

Damn. The three-color beast lives no more.

But everything being the same color really ties it together. I like it. I like it a lot.

Nice work, Jordan.

ever consider smoked elips? just a thought

[Streetspec_iS]

gonna look pretty dope jordan. gotta give you props mate, cos if my car were in that many bits at any one time, id probly throw in the towel.

[e30Matt]

Something tells me smoked ellips wouldn't look right w/out blacked out kidneys, and since his are body color (still, I assume), I think the clear ones would look better.

ah yes, good point.

well it couldnt hurt to try it and see ;)

[e30Matt]

It could hurt bad in the wallet. But hey, you can always sell them here... I'm sure they'll get gobbled up by someone if you don't want 'em.
