looks better. i woulda tried to talk the paint shop into getting you some of the new color

did you ever get your back bumper on?

[skeetre]

Yeah, I posted it a couple times already ;) You weren't paying attention.

Do a search for 'check out my new rear' Or look in my profile thread.

Black was easier.. I didn't have to worry as much about painting over some of the black parts.

It looks alot better.. Why dont you try to see if you can get that color green mixed in a spray can?

[evan938]

looks pretty good

way better than the maroon or whatever you had before

[evan938]

did you tape off the hood or does it just look different towards the bottom?

Definitely looks better than the maroon. Man, I must have been gone a long time ...I never realized you're turbo'd!

I want to get some of the green for touching up the bodykit for down the road, but to paint the engine bay that color would have been way harder. I tried to tape everything off that I could reach, but this way if I got some paint on something, 95% of what was left untaped was already black anyway so it doesn't show.

I'm not sure what you mean... I mean the 2 pictures at the top show everything taped off... but I couldn't tape everything under the engine, so if you look really hard, you can find spots that I missed probably. But to pull the engine and have the bay painted was going to be like $1600, I figured this is good enough for now, if I ever swap engines, or have mine pulled for some reason, then I can get the bay painted green at that time.

Thanks a lot!
