Got some bodywork done...painted sides/rear...

Post by **jadeM45** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 10:00 am

Well I was able to get my sides and rear painted finally. I also had them remove the corner lights from the front and rear bumpers. It is much cleaner looking now. I traded a website in exchange for the work, otherwise I would have saved the money for a kit in a few years.

photoshop tells a different story. i'm pretty much set on it. besides it's not like 1990 q45 bumpers are hard to come by/expensive.

Why get rid of the lights when you can cover them? If the film is not dark enough for you, there are two shades darker.

BTW OP, looks great bro.

If you darken the screen you cant see them.That's what it'd look like.BlackonBlack I can make my photoshop look like was if it was real,see theres a difference between a bad and a good chop.

because regardless of how well you match the color they're still there. personal preference but i'll be looking for ways to clean up the bumper without it loosing it's original look.

Thanks bro. I like that menacing look. I am looking to get some different wheels, if I do I may powder coat the Murano wheels black for the winter.
