Looks good man......I'm jealous that you could do it that easily -- it would suck to do it on my 01, even though I really want to.

same here, i think it would look sick if it was paint matched with the blue on mine, but it might look really tacky. I gotta man up and just do it already!.. looks hot on your car though polak, matchs the black n blue style you got going. good job

Nice job. By the way, can you post a review of your 711's? I see that those are affordable upgrades if buying wheel/tire packages from Wheelmax and the like, but i've never read reviews for them.

Thanks.

It hardly fits on my 21inch moniter running 1280x1024 res...

But it looks good though.

Very nice job. And you got the grille out even before anyone had a chance to reply to your other thread!

Clean job on masking. Looks professional. I like the black/silver contrast. It goes well with your overall blue/black color scheme.

Props on the idea for the 2 tone paint job! Time to change your sig pic.....

If you mean me....I did it myself with the paint that was left over from painting my wheels long ago....

The body kit that i have at home might also be painted black and the rims will be redone along with other things that need touching up.

If ya compare it with his stock (look at his signature pic) it looks much better... stock had the chromey finish while the new paint job has made it nice and black... like the 00-01s...

That looks awesome. It looks stock, yet it's different, what is wrong with that?
