Figured i would post in here also since i hardly ever go in the general forum. Here are some pics of my new BMW Jet Black paint job w/new aero lip.

Before


After

 

looks good, and the aero lip is def in improvement imo....
now smoke those side markers and get rid of the clears!!!!

 

Looks great. But why not BMW Black Sapphire metallic?

 

how much and how long did it take ya?

 

I guess i am just a sucker for regular black. Although my painter did put on 7 coats and i swear in person it almost gives off a candy paint effect. It took 2 weeks and he charged me $3100 total.

 

Very nice... I could never drive around with a ride that low though... ya must have nice roads out there... btw, I like the new lip better too....

 

Did you think about doing custom color?

 

yea the new lip definately is way better than the old one, nice paint job, very costly..

 

Yea i thought about a custom color, but this car being my daily driver i didn't want something that out of the ordinary. I parked next to a black 2k4 yesterday and you can tell the difference in the colors. Mine looked a shade darker and much more deep. I have to say i am extremely happy with my choice

 

Looked good before, still looks great! I guess I missed it, but why did you decide to go for a repaint?

 

Looks good and the lip change was a definate improvement.

 

engine bay shot, the front lip looks better but for some reason I like the sterling mist better. But as long as you like it that is all that matters.

 

Very nice Max looks great...

 

I do to, i like the sterling mist too, but to each there own. In both colors your car looks hot, i think i would have spen that 3100 dollars in performance mods, but that my opinion...

Nice paint job though...

 

I already got the supercharger with 3.125 pulley and full exhaust, Apexi SAFC, VB mod. So after the headers i am pretty much done because to me my car is fast enough and any more would just get me in trouble

 

here is a shot of the engine bay

 

Car got scratched up at a bar a few weeks back. So i figured it was a prime opprtunity to change to my favorite color. Now that you seen pics of mine when are you going to show pics of those sick @$$ wheels of yours

 

Looking good man!

 

Looks awesome!! Congrats, now keep her clean....

 

Well then, a paint job is just fine then! LOL!
Good job again!

 

Do you mind me asking, what supercharger did you buy?

 

looks great, good choice on switching up the lip.

black is a very nice color but just too much drama to deal with for me. good luck maintaining it!

 

Nice...really sets the dish on the rims off. It makes the rims stand out more IMO. Very nice.

Time to finish off the SC with a CAI to get back that 1psi and polish the SC discharge pipe? Or are you "done"?

 

your paint job is sick...... your car looks great!!!

 

There you go putting more ideas in my head . Nah i already want to do that but i am gonna get the fuel setup finished, do the cold air setup, and do the cattman headers and then call it a day. Hell i gotta start saving some money sometime

 

Fuel setup = bigger injectors?

 

of course

 

I think it looks really good! Your car is sick.

 

Chris, the Max looks nuts! I think the front lip is a 100% improvement over the old Stillen, and the color looks nice. How did the job come out? As long as you're happy with the color and outcome...which it seems like you are....then $$$ well spent. Now the fun part...keeping her clean and scratch free!!!!! Good Luck. I still think you should have the mesh in your rims painted black, and keep the polished lip!

 

HAHA right when i think i am done i start getting these ideas thrown at me and it makes me want to keep going. I already got the car cover and have bought all the neccessary clothes to wash and dry with so i guess i am on the right track. I know it is going to get scratched but just want to keep it minimized. As far as the quality of the job, all i have to say is the boy's (My painter) got skillz.

 

sweet looks good man. take care of it

 

Car looks great, your going to have to wash that puppy every week to keep that black looking clean.

 

looks outstanding bro!!!!

 

Looks good man. I like black as well, but with all the scratches that show up your bound to get tennis elbow and other joint pain from all the waxing I opted for the low up keep color

 

Any problems running the SC with an automatic?

 

Thanks man, i'm guessing you bought hamy's wheels.

 

i agree with the other posts. looks sweet with the lip and the color change. those wheels are looking hotttttttttttttttt:

 

Didn't see that the car is SCed... awesome man... that impresses me even more than the kit and rims... great job!

 

correct!
one word...
bada$$

 

Awesome, I've always really like your car. Did you ever solve the problem by trying to get your BBK to fit?
