I don't like the moldings though, it looks sleek with out them on, and its only one door. I am getting it done.. lol. I am just pissed they come out all good, and than the last door. WHAM. I am struck with some bad luck. lol.

did you buy that car used? looks to me like thats not the result of fading... that cars been repainted... maybe an accident in its history?

You see thats the weird thing, I bought this car NEW.. I mean, I don't get it either.. I am kinda pissed about it, but what can I do.. Just take it to a paint shop and get it redone.. I am bummed... But it looks nice with them off... Painted + Lowered... Soon. lol.

Yeah, those are WHITE Motegi's.. I love them. Everyone here in my town does too... ! Yay!

just finish doin your body stuff (kit or whatever) then just send the car into paint and get it all painted along with the crummy overspray spot


I hope to do this before the bash this year

had the same problem. i hit a deer when i first got my car. and i took off the drivers side it was fine. took off the pass side and it had a big azz line cause the stock color is a lil bit darker than what they used. definately noticeable. kinda @!#$ty when it happens to cars as new as ours...

dam your complaining about a free graphics job ?!?!?!?!?!


LOL


if its just the white dull paint , id grab a can of duplicolor clear coat , and mask the area off , about a extra 1" around the non cleared area , spray it with the clear , give it a few days to dry then lightly color sand it and it should look alot better


its worth the try , and if you mess it up you didnt spend a whole
