    Getting Painted

    So I finally decided that I should just put money into my DD 1991 318i, rather than get a truck! i know, i will regret it.

    anyway, just getting it painted the stock Diamanschwarz (god, i never know how to spell this), and was wondering if i should paint the mirrors the same body color or paint it a flat black, so it will match the SEM trim?

    i am painting the IS lip and IS rear spoiler the same body color as well.

    here it is at the shop, ready to get worked on. i will be updating with the progress.

    EDIT:
    Pic below is the FINAL outcome.

            Might as well paint them body color while you're doing the car.

            Flat black ones are quite abundant I'd imagine. :)

                            Nice wheels. definately paint the mirrors, but since you're going with such a nice set of wheels. Atleast switch the tips on the muffler to d'rice it a bit. Makes the rear look to civicish. A nice double tip should set the rear off better.
