I didn't realized it was molded...make sense now.

Looking good tho!

There has to be special care care given to the imperfections in a flat/semi paint job. There can't be any trash or "body dust" in the both when painting. This is because unlike regular paint it can't be buffed out. My body man took extra care in this part of the process. I'm not saying to phenforum this is the problem but what finish exactly are you going for??

Maybe its the low quality pics, but your car looks like someone used a spray can on it.

nah i mean whatever you like is what you like. I don't hope I can change your mind - that's what makes people unique, so it's all good.

To me, it's so hot. But it really helps to see it in person.

Wow that looks kick ***. I like what you did with the canards. They look mean mounted like that. I found a pic of those tail lights with a light smoke. They would look good with your setup. Here you go.

thanks for the support and for finding that pic! I'm not sure about those tails but I should find some and try it. It could turn out really well but I can't tell right now
