    My convertible w/ new bumper

    When I bought my vert it had a shattered front bumper. I bought a good used one but it was red. I sat on it for a while until deciding to paint it with an apline II can of spraypaint from paintscratch.com. I think it looks pretty good - but I certainly could have done better. Now I just need to straighten that valence.

              You car will look good with an IS or Infinity lip. Good work.

                  To be honest I want to straighten and repaint the valence and add an I lip. I just like the look better.

                      Did you rattle can the whole car?? If it's true, it looks a lot better than I thought for a rattle can! Nice job!

                          No, just the front bumper. It would probably be cheaper to have the car professionally painted than to rattle can it with paintscratch paint. I want to say the single can I bought was $25 and I used the whole thing on the bumper. As of right now the car is alpine 1 and 2 and has a bunch of nicks and imperfections. I'm going to have it completely repainted if I keep it for much longer.

                              Looking good, an IS lip is calling your name!

                                  No love for the VW lip that's on there?

                                      Looks fine to me. You can't have an IS lip without skirts. R3V needs to realize this.

                                          And you shouldn't have skirts without a rear apron - especially on a pre facelift.
