Did some painting!

Painted some stuff last week! The front bumper was all cracked and peeling so I redid that, painted a wingless trunk to match (AVS on soon!), matched the side mirrors, 3D tails, Painted the lip kit blk, swapped my R/T skirts with an SRT (still have to put the door caps on), and I have a pair of F1 fenders and an Erebuni Race CF hood still sitting in the shop.... I will also be painting the rims black soon, and I cut out the honeycomb and replaced it with black mesh, I still need to dremel smooth the openings, right now it looks like teeth. I also did some interior pieces while I had the gun out...I have tint going on and I am also waiting for a set of Megan Coilovers to show up so I can fix that gap issue
Overall pretty happy! Let me know what ya'll think!

That looks really really good.... Great job.

Those Mopar 3d tails that are colormatches look AWESOME. I might do that... Its just hard to find them cheap used.

(shameless plug) I've had a set forsale for a VERY long time.

They need repainted.

Also, I like everything but the black lip kit. I think it looks better color matched.

I have a silver kit as well (those things were cheap when they cleared em out) and I could go either way....with the door caps on the skirts it should tie it up nicer, and it's kind of a throw back to my old Z24 (Blk w/ silver lips). Thanks for the input though! I got many more plans, and it's nice to see a one color bumper again instead of a bunch of black spots and scrapes!

I would love to come paint stuff with you guys, but I'm in NH with a 2year old and 6 mo old and my time is pretty tied up

I do have a silver front and rear lip I am trying to get rid of if anyone want's it. $75 shipped in the US.
I'm rather fond of my hood and it doesn't have the latch so you need to use hood pins. Thanks for the offer though, I almost went with an invader.
I got the mopar badge from showparts, fast turn and great quality.

And I almost went woth a flat, but I plan on getting either gloss black rims or painting mine

Thanks for all the input! I'll have the sideskirt caps on soon and get pics hopefully this weekend, oh, and I just snaged a set of Megan COilovers so goodbye 4x4!

You should paint the jagged grill white so it really looks like it has teeth. I think the lip kit might look better silver, but everything else looks awesome.

yeah yeah...

I'm smoothing out the grill, no teeth soon enough

Got the door caps on here's how it looks now, yeah I know, she still needs a bath

What's a door cap? It looks the same.

Right abpve the skirt, attached to the lower section of the door. You'll notice it fills in the angle and makes the whole side flush.
