It's HOT! I should've get greddy.......oh too late..
by the way, if I were u I would keep the stock grille. It definitly screams sporty and luxury at the same time.
again, Very nice car indeed.!

S-tuned~

 

I like the flow of your car, but it looks like the paint doesn't match at all. I realize the car is parked in a shadow, but it really looks off from the rest of the car, anymore pictures?

Great looking car none the less, and you have to love the sticker haters.. hah.

I just noticed your sticker on your windshield says hybrid. Team hybrid has pretty nice cars. I think i saw your car when you still had the stillen lip

U can never match the factory DG color, my coupe was painted 2 times and never match w/ the factory... always a shade darker

But the coupe looks clean as hell

I would never take a painted piece back from a shop unless it matched perfectly, especially a stock color. Granted fiberglass/urethane and metal parts can all take to the color differently, it is the job of the shop to make sure it blends and matches well.

My personal opinion I guess. I had a terrible time getting a tri-color pearl stock color matched on my other car, but it was do-able. You really just have to find a good bodyman/painter.

I guess I have to take it back to the shop for a repaint. I just gave the shop the color code and they painted it and I installed it. The bumper does come in white so that may have affected it.

 

I like I like! what's the bumper made out of?

 

It's fiberglass, supposedly good quality fiberglass but who knows, they could just be saying that...lol.

That's so true.. you just never know with fiberglass. Did they gelcoat the bumper (white/smooth texture)?

Gelcoating things always leads to issues with paint matching because it takes to paint so much differently. Another thing that helps match paint is to use high fill yellow/black primer and it tends to take to paint better.. no matter blending will have to happen because its not sprayed from factory.

Your car looks gorgeous regardless, don't get me wrong.
