                  They made a worse color than bronzit? Never knew that? But dope anyways, I still have yet to paint my front plastic swap or get a lip for it. The back is still rocking DB's. I'm glad you did the rear valence to go along with it. Looks way better, earlys with plastics are wayyyy hawter than late models.

                          The previous owner did all the work, the tails were done in the paint booth with the rest of the car so I'm not sure what they used.

                              Damn, I love the early tail lights especially with the plastic bumper and valence. Props!

                                              dont paint the b pillars. You will regret it. It looks terrible but, to each his own

                                                  I'd skip out on the B-pillars. It definitely won't look good. Besides, black goes well with your future shadowline.

                                                  P.S. - Hit your wheels with some paint, it'll freshen up the look. :D
