Couldn't find any good locations and the lighting kinda sucked, but here are few pics of mhy new paintjob. Have to get the mounting hardware for my M-tech sideskirts and then the black strip at the bottom of the door will be gone.

VERY clean looking.

if you don't mind me asking, how much did that set you back? (or did you do it yourself)

i want more pics of my car :(

wow that turned out really nice!

The black strips on the bottom of the doors don't look half-bad.

Looks good. Black out the kidneys to complete the silver/black look.

haha, i love the random leaf in the last pic. :alright

Very nice. Are you still planning on selling it or keeping it. I'd keep it, lol.

+1 on the blacked out kidneys. +1 on the black strips complementing the silver on black contrast look you have going. But the ///M-tech skirts will look NICE!!!:cool

Stunning. Nothing else needs to be said.

This is your friend.. you like his new sig?

Like I said in the other thread, the car looks great. An m5 plate surround would be money...

Were you at blowneuros? I believe I saw your car, very nice!

beauty. +1 black out kidneys

DAMN! My heart skipped a beat seeing that first picture. It's gorgeous! Looks way more aggressive and classy now. Those brake ducts are teh sex on lighter colored cars.

Car is secks. Looks so hot and I kinda like the black door gakset at the bottom. Looks sooo good. Arent you glad you didn't sell it?

Wow that looks amazing. Where did you get that front bumber?

That's really pretty. It's not even black or tinted, but that's a gorgeous car. What's the Maxima doing in those pics, though, besides being jealous?

What are those, non-staggered Style 32 17x8's?

+1 on shadowline grill.

Ambivalent on the black lower strip.

It's not a Maxima, it's an I30. Get it right! :mad

:stickoutt

Very nice. Wasn't it silver before? Just a respray? I agree that the lower black gaskets around the skirts don't look bad at all.

Looks great. Did your paint guy have to use anything special (adhesion promoters or anything) on the stock rocker panels?

if you don't mind me asking, how much did that set you back? (or did you do it yourself)

Well it was keyed in November and insurance payed about 4k and I had to throw in about 1.5-2k for the extra stuff I wanted done.

Looks good. Black out the kidneys to complete the silver/black look.

meh, never really liked black grills, think I'm sticken with chrome.

Very nice. Are you still planning on selling it or keeping it. I'd keep it, lol.

Keeping it fo sho.

meh, give me a photshop. Not dure how it would look. Thinking of a lip spoiler though...

Yeah, I was, thanks!

It was sanded down and then the whole car was resprayed.

Not really sure, but they came out pretty decent for a "weird" surface.

Here's a few more pic's that I thought came out decent from the trip to the BlownEuroz meet:

Nice!

Just FYI yannow, you can multi-quote. ;)

You theme stealer, you...:mad . J/k. Great minds think alike. I see from your sig that maybe you recently added the 540 ducts? DIY from e34.net, or did you have someone do it for you? I dig it, and agree with the others that the black door strips don't look bad at all. good job on the paint and all, maybe reconsider your chrome kidneys to black, to give it that stealth look.
did not mean to hijack your thread.

The black strips on the bottom of the doors don't look half-bad.

Actually, I'm really diggin those.
