before and after is like night and day. Yeah and the spoiler does look a bit different. I see you got rid of the side moldings.... good choice in my opinion.

i've always wanted to paint a car but i dont have the equipment nor the resources. I did however paint my cai and after i learned that trying to add additional coats too late causes the paint to wrinkle it came out pretty good for something that goes under the hood. So I couldn't take that risk with my car

It takes practice. I'm better with spray paint. I painted my mirrors and windsheild wipers the purple/blue kameleon color.

The car (paint) with rims and everything look nice. I am also in favor of people keeping the same color or very similar color when painting their cars, unless they do a COMPLETE job. There is nothing as as a guy with a car painted one color, with the old color under the hood, in the door jams, trunk, etc.

Personally, I would ditch the GXE grill and tails and get some 92-94 SE grill and tails, but that's my own preference.
