Took the cover off, scuffed it down with 320 wet/dry paper, shot a coat of adhesion promoter followed by 2 coats of 2k primer, wait 15 min, shot 2 coats of paint, wait 30 minutes, sot 3 coats of clear. Let it dry for 3 days. then a quick wet sand with 1500 grit to level everything off then buffed it.LongBeachCoupe wrote:Whatd you do to paint the engine?

I'm not sure. I didn't install the fascia. the shop that painted it did the install. I think there is a metal support bracket underneath it and the pins go thru the fascia and into the holes on the support braket.. That 's what I get when I have someone else do the work for me.alphapig wrote:Hey I got a quick question for you... What are these attached to?
I drilled the holes out before hand but, once the bumper is installed, I don't see anything bellow them
They're 18's but there not enkei's so were safe.spockrock wrote:

I hope they aren't the same ones as the enkei's I ordered I guess it would be a fasion faux-pas if we both had the same wheels...
Very nice, cant have two red 3.5se's with the same wheels....... as soon as the wheels come in, I should have tints done, springs and intake installed and the new 18"s on my baby......I will post pics...... I am also trying to get custom projector retrofits done as well.... I am trying to see if there is anyone in the GTA that provides this service.dangeris wrote:They're 18's but there not enkei's so were safe.
