Nice! A painted grille always looks good! Some wheel spacers and a bumper respray is all you need.

I've heard bad things about the roads in Mass.

The bumper will be getting resprayed before winter on my dime if the city don't pay and then I'm doing a 3m clear bra.

I'm currently reading up on spacers now to figure out which ones are the best to go with. But I'm thinking about new wheels for next summer so I might not need the spacers

I have some Teins now but I just need to get off my @$$ and do it already.

I also have Strupp TP with non foulers that need installing and a brand new OEM front lip but that needs to painted DP first.

Thanks for the suggestions...duely noted

sanded the grill with 400 grit paper to a nice smooth finish, then I put 3 coats of primer/sealer...then 5 coats of satin black Krylon and 2 coats of clear.

all painting was done on a nice sunny day and I let it dry 10 minutes between coats....if you search ther are some great DIY for this
