Looks worthy, nice and different. Does the color match up better in person?

I guess I'll be the only one to disagree. I love the rest of the car, I just don't like that color scheme on the grille.

Are your mirrors and area behind the ttops black? I considered painting my grille NBM but figured in black it added just enough to accent the rest of the black on the car. Looks good though.

Is the whole thing NBM? The center section kinda looks black in the pic. Looks good either way though. Did u sand on it at all or just clean, prime and paint?

Yes color does match up better my car has a layer of dust, but you can kinda tell the diff close up, from more than 5 ft looks amazing

My mirrors are blue, but my sail panel is black

Yes the center section is black, basically I taped off the section I wanted black, sanded with 1000grit, cleaned the sanded area, 1 coat of primer, 3 coats of blue, and 1 coat clear, then removed tape.


I will get another pic up soon
