looks fantastic

PS: Although quite beautiful already, I think your car would look 3x better if you minus the pinstripe.

just an opinion.

I know, I hate that stupid pin stripe. Is that something that can be removed? I thought it was under the clear coat.

BTW, your car looks great....a lil refresh!

[mgw_300e]

I did, I just did a crap job of painting the leading edge, I guess.

[mgw_300e]

Chris, did you notice your license plate insert and outside temp sensor? Look at the before/after pics.

I barely noticed until you pointed it out. haha Looks good, did you paint the license plate piece to color match your bumpers?? I can't tell from the pictures.

Order that damn tow hook cover!

Part #: 124 880 01 05 it should be around 35-40 dollars not including tax.

The warehouse in Fort Worth, TX has 20 in stock right now so if your local dealership doesn't have it then you can get it the next day before 5:00PM.

P.S. Disregard what Omar said about the latch piece - who cares - he points that out on everyones car and makes it seem like his car is all badass now because his is painted.

[oneill_1]

i dont think i am badass cause mine is painted...i just think it looks better with a blacked out grill/ grill insert...just trying to help a fellow member out with a different perspective....

Anyways, I was on the 91 & 5 earlier today since I was leaving HoI's after work but I was no where near the 57 Freeway.

Where are you located? We should have a photoshoot one day.

Yeah I havnt really been looking out for anything on here in terms of meets or anything.

im out in riverside. Im actually coming out there saturday but I dont know how long Im gonna be around.

Besides, Im getting tint this weekend so i wanna wait for pics till afterward.

PS: Theres no other way to say what freeway you were on.

I was on 91 & 5 earlier... Doesnt sound close to gramatically correct.

Southerners...

Thanks Chris - I need clear corners before i get that cover.

The bumper is still black, yours matched mine pretty well. I still need to swap out the metal piece that holds it on, if you look close at the top right corner you can see how it bends forward just a little bit.

[rivcal4life]

Most people dont pay that much attention to such small details.

Perfection is something most people dont have the patience for. I myself just dont have the funds.

haha.

Chris- What percent are your front and back windows tinted?

[Saijin_Naib]

Good job matt! Lookin much better blacked out. Sorry again about the clear corners I donno about you, but my pinstripe is by Jeff and its paint, not sticker so its not coming off.

[ChrisDPham]

I have no clue - the previous own put the reflective tint on the car.

I plan on removing it though however and getting a medium shade tint. It should look better than now and flow with the color of the car A LOT better.

[Saijin_Naib]

Do you have tint laws in cali?

[ChrisDPham]

Yeah we do and they are pretty strict about it but it's not like anyone cars though.

yeah...theyre pretty strict. but theyre more by county than just a state-wide law.

I think its 15% max. Somewhere around there. I'd be willing to go a little darker. Black as poissible.

Not reflective....bleh.
