Looks absolutely amazing. I'm sure you mentioned it somewhere in the thread, but what color did you end up using?

Car looks awesome! Paint job turned out incredible for a garage job. I'll bet those tight spots were fun to wet sand and buff!
Yeah the tight spots are definitely a challenge. Mostly around the rear license plate is the worst.

Update Sept. 7: did nothing this whole holiday weekend on the lake... but did score a set of fogs on eBay for 66 bucks shipped. Will do a urethane clear coat treatment then Lamin-X. Those + the iS lip and install the HID's and the front is finished.

Also, watch lots of YouTube videos. They taught me how to buff polish and it worked out great.

Quick update September 9: installed an OEM E36 cabrio antenna assembly.. looks great!
Also did another cool mod... since I bought a coupe trunk lid I now had two trunk lights... if you look inside your lid there are two cut-outs for lights .. its symmetrical. So I took the spare one, spliced in the wires and snapped it in. Twice the light! Also put in my new tool set.. old ones were rusty from leaking 3rd brake light... part of the reason I got rid of it with the coupe trunk lid.
Also got the taillights, emblem, latches, etc. installed. Taillights utilize the factory fog space as extras for reverse.
More updates to come. This whole thing is painfully slow but hey, working full time and get about 3 weeknights a week...
