So i bought some stuff today.


ALSO, does anyone know how to remove pinstripes? I've been wanting to get rid of them but it seems as though half of them are paint and half are tape, really confusing.

Theres an attachment made for the end of a drill thats made to "polish" pinstripes off.

[Robitussin]

I will, been busy lately. Same goes for you.

[TheTynosaur]

finish your wheels

A door.





Compared to the bad door.



A fender.



Compared to the old fender.





An apron. (I know it is the pre-facelift apron but i am not going to install it until i have a 535is air dam anyways.)



Compared to the one that has taken quite the beating.





I know, i have a pretty bad habit of buying parts i don't need for my car yet, but i don't like to pass up a good opportunity.

Find a color in a swatch book that matches what you're going for and have your friendly local auto body supply mix it and throw it in some rattle cans for you.

Why have i never thought of this?

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

I just looked into that, if i could find that in a rattlecan or if i could convince my dad to break out the spray gun i just might consider it. I just suck at finding specific paint colors.

The flat bronzy gold that Tein H.Techs are coated in would look awesome against white, while still being on the bright end of the spectrum.

I'm voting for black faces and copper lips, yes
You ain't gotta do it but it would look superb

Did you ever finish sanding those lips? If not i'm buying you a buffer

Idk i am a huge fan of just straight up polished lips so i think i'll stick with a goldish color for the centers. and NOPE i was supposed to get the last one done the past couple days but i went to a friend's house instead.



BUUUUUUUUUUT in other news I am going to Ohio Saturday to buy a door to replace the one that was basically ruined by one of the POs. I might try to get some pics that really show the damage.

Dude i know the feel, like for it to stand out, but not be like "LOOK AT ME IM RICE"

You should be glad i don't want to paint them blue anymore, my rice stage passed surprisingly quickly.

Idk i have thought about bronze but I wanted a bright color without it being ricey, so i figured gold would be perfect. I'm not sure i'm changing my mind anytime soon.

is it weird that i think a bronze would look amazing on these wheels
