welcome. you might not know it yet but you are now addicted to your car.

^ Hahaha , hey man you can't complain for $200 . :D

Actually Mike , the ft valance, bumper surrounds and window trim was painted intentionally .
Painting the window trim gives a good foundation for the shadowline that we performed .

Really the only semi-vital parts we left on were a few of the side mouldings ...and thats just because JW325ic was too lazy to remove them . :p

that's a $200 paint job? i'm impressed.

[brandondan1]

Yeah, it is pretty nice for 200 dollars. I'm being really anal about washing and waxing it to make it last as long as possible. I plan on switching to plastic bumpers with an 'is' lip and some sideskirts, so if theres anyone in DFW who can install them let me know!

But other than that I just plan on replacing some things that it needs to restore it to factory condition so i can start driving it like it was meant to be driven ;)

[Teaguer]

Yeah it was only $200, but thats only with the homie hookup since I run a bodyshop . ;)


Brandon, sorry I have not gotten back to you on the bumpers .
I have a set that I could paint and install for you .....I'll pm you a figure with and without paint .

Also if you've seen the thread on e30tech you will know how bad the hood was on your car before I stripped and painted it .
Unfortunately our concern was mostly on taking care of the hood , the roof and trunk is showing slight signs of the bad paint starting to come through .

for all you haterz on the budget paint job heres a before and after:

[Bimmerista]

Your car looks great! You should definitely head out to one of the DFW meets sometime.

im not hating, car looks good in the pics. just curious why you wouldnt even pull the door handles off. and let overspray get all over everything. i just figure if your going to do it, you should prob. spend the extra few hours too.
I think the car looks good though.
