you remove the bulbs so u dont get paint on them. you put them back in when you are done.

yes, thats the only area that you paint. any paint should do for black. for colors, they say you need glass paint. i have never seen it, nor do i know where 2 find it, but i will. wait a couple of weeks. when i do this, i will b sure 2 post pix just 4 you.

lol thanks for the offer. However im pretty good with DIY's so it'll be done in less than an hour when I get my hands on it. Car is going to get a $250 professional detailing next week so it should be ready for the photoshoot

Question is should I do it or no? Im thinking it might make the car look to dark. Having the car shot for the magazine Monday!

NaZty NaZe One! · 02-26-2010, 11:54 PM

Want me to try and Photoshop the hell out of it?... Blacks I assume, to finish the mean look

m3racing · 02-27-2010, 12:12 AM

that would be great if you are free.. Only worry is the reflection off the cover. I think it would look good with my angel eyes on but I still like the chrome backing for contrast..

E46Moonlight · 02-27-2010, 12:47 AM

So tempted to do this! anybody have it in yellow on a TiAg>? pics would be nice too!

Ok, Its not the best looking Photoshop... but I think you can get the idea looking at the leftside... on the right, it looks funky for some reason...

the lighting maybe

Bane 2000 · 02-27-2010, 01:08 AM

Yeah, It'll look meaner!!! But a nice intercooler would make it more M-GASMIC

Can't wait till you start sneezing or whistling

I kind of like your current theme.
It would look good either way.
