I decided to go ahead and paint the areas that everyone else is leaving unpainted. I didnt want to take the chances that the urethane would fade or anything so i had them painted a flat black.
ehhh good luck with that. Theres a reason I left it unpainted. You'll see after a couple days that all those flat black areas are going to chip away very easy to rock and debris. Best to just leave it poly.

Well, its too late now, but if theres a problem with it, ill just take it back to the shop and ask him to do something about it. I kinda liked the look of the red accents but thats a totally different direction than my car was headed.

I hear what your saying adidas but I had to get the black parted painted as well. Unfortunately, there was a white streak right down the middle of the bottom area where it would of been unpainted. Couldn't just leave it that way so I made the executive decision to paint it. Didn't want to but I had to. I know I run the risk of it chipping but at least the shop scuffed it up real good and added a couple of coats of adhesion primer for bood measure. I guess I won't be following people too close while I'm driving.

Yeah that's just as hot as the Code Red! With the color scheme it looks great with contrasting colors. The bumper kinda gets lost in a darker color IMO.

I wouldn't say it looks like S**t without it but I do agree, it does need a some kind of mesh. I'm working on it thought..believe me! None the less, it changes the whole look of the coupe and makes it look meaner

A few pictures to appease..









And yeah, the radiator and whatnot behind the bumper was all sprayed black too, so nothing ugly showing from underneath.

Jackpot... Ok so i went to my boy to discuss install for my HID and springs (maybe before the NY auto show, depending on when springs are out)... And i brought up a new bumper and painting it... He said theres a guy he trusts that will do it for around $200 bucks! (my friend has a whole car he painted 4 yrs ago and looks great)... Im gonna run that metallic paint by him... I dont think that all black shows the bumper well... the red/black is my fav... im gonna see what i can come up with..

Well, Here's the coupe after leaving her with the body shop during my vacation out in Vegas. Right away I noticed the paint matched. I also had them paint the radiator and that aluminum line thingy just like jtnanospy did (thanks man for the idea ) Springs should be in sometime mid next week then wheels! Ooooh,...I can't wait! She's finally coming all together now
